Previous research on marriage and family formation in China has focused almost exclusively on two topics: the relationship between marriage timing and the total fertility level; and the relationship between state family planning programs and marriage timing. This line of research has almost completely neglected linkages between macro-level forces and macro-level outcomes, that is, the exact processes by which macro-level forces such as state policy directives and/or societal development changed individual behaviors.

520 $a This dissertation attempts to provide such a link. It consists of three substantive analyses. The first analysis uses data from the 1988 two-per-thousand fertility survey to describe the overall cross-temporal trend in age at first marriage for both men and women in China during the previous half century. I show that there is a complex interaction between gender, the respondent's education, and the average educational levels of men and women. This pattern results from changes in the average educational levels of men and women coupled with a strong norm in China for men to have more education than their wives. The second analysis, based on a 1% sample of the 1982 Chinese Census, focuses on cross-sectional pattern of "underage" marriage and searches for an institutional explanation of the dramatic decline in age at first marriage in the early 1980s. I argue that the dismantling of the commune system and the return to families as the basic unit of agricultural production fueled a return in rural areas to customary marriage patterns in which, for males, early marriage is positively associated with socioeconomic status. This produces complex interactions between gender, education, urban vs. rural residence, and agricultural vs. non-agricultural occupations, which reflect the fact that in the early 1980s China had two distinctive marriage regimes a traditional rural regime and a modern urban regime. The third analysis uses data from the 1996 Chinese Life History Survey to evaluate the gender symmetry of the Chinese marriage market. The results show that the Chinese marriage market is still gender-asymmetric.
