Abstract

Objective

This study compares the sterilization behavior of couples with varying joint education levels and union types.

Background

A couple's joint education levels affect the resources available to them and the power dynamics within the relationship; they also help determine which spouse takes primary responsibility for the couple's fertility work. However, few studies have examined how couples' sterilization behavior differs according to their joint education levels and union type.

Methods

Using data from the 2006–2019 National Survey of Family Growth, this study estimated multinomial logistic regression models to predict the relative risk of relying on female sterilization, male sterilization, or reversible contraception for couples with varying joint education levels and union type.

Results

Married and cohabiting couples with higher joint levels of education were less likely than their lesser-educated counterparts to rely on female sterilization. Married couples with higher joint levels of education were more likely than their lesser-educated counterparts to rely on male sterilization. However, for cohabiting couples, disparities in reliance on male sterilization differed little according to their joint levels of education.

Conclusion

Future studies should consider how male and female partners' education interact to affect their sterilization behavior. When they do, they should consider their relative and absolute levels of education.

伴侣之间的教育差距和绝育
目的比较不同联合教育程度和结合方式夫妻的绝育行为。夫妻双方的共同教育水平会影响双方可用的资源和关系中的权力动态;它们还有助于确定哪一方对夫妇的生育工作负主要责任。然而,很少有研究调查夫妇的绝育行为如何根据他们的共同教育水平和结合类型而不同。方法利用2006-2019年全国家庭增长调查数据,估计多项logistic回归模型,预测不同共同教育水平和结合类型夫妻依赖女性绝育、男性绝育或可逆避孕的相对风险。结果共同受教育程度较高的已婚和同居夫妇比受教育程度较低的伴侣更不可能依赖女性绝育。共同受教育程度较高的已婚夫妇比受教育程度较低的夫妇更有可能依赖于男性绝育。然而,对于同居夫妇来说,依赖男性绝育的差异在他们共同的教育水平上差别不大。结论今后的研究应考虑男性和女性受教育程度如何相互影响其绝育行为。当他们这样做的时候,他们应该考虑他们的相对和绝对教育水平。
