Resumen

El debate empírico y teórico sobre las implicaciones del vuelco educativo femenino en la formación de parejas sigue abierto. En este artículo, utilizando microdatos trimestrales de la EPA, se analizan los tipos de unión formados en España para las cohortes nacidas entre 1950-1988, un período lo suficientemente amplio como para captar las tendencias de largo recorrido. Para descontar la exposición diferencial al mercado matrimonial en un contexto como el español, donde la expansión formativa ha sido intensa, se aplican modelos loglineales. Los resultados muestran que la hipogamia es el tipo de unión que más crece. Esa evolución es asimétrica por parejas: llega antes y es mayor entre las mujeres más cualificadas, asociándose claramente a su incorporación al mercado laboral. Si se consideran las dificultades para superar determinados niveles y la influencia que ejerce el vuelco educativo femenino, la homogamia prevalece como forma de emparejamiento principal.
