چکیده

تحلیل اقتصادی منافع ازدواج از لحاظ زمان تشکیل خانواده و مدت زندگی در قالب آن موضوع اصلی این مقاله است. با کمک نظریۀ اقتصادی می‌توان به این موضوع پی برد که تشکیل خانواده از منافعی برخوردار است که البته افزایش درآمد مهم‌ترین مصداق آن است. بر این اساس انتظار می‌رود زمان ازدواج و پس از آن مدت زمانی که فرد در قالب خانواده زندگی می‌کند نیز بر درآمد مؤثر باشند. نتایج این مطالعه که بر اساس دو نمونه از مردان (شامل 415 مشاهده) و زنان (شامل 409 مشاهده) متأهل ساکن شهر تهران به دست آمده است، حکایت از این دارد که سن ازدواج اثر مثبت و مدت ازدواج اثر منفی بر درآمد افراد متأهل دارد. این یافته‌ به طور ضمنی مؤید آن است که آموزش می‌تواند عامل مهم بروز چنین واقعیتی باشد زیرا از یک سو موجب تأخیر در ازدواج می‌شود و از سوی دیگر درآمد فرد را افزایش می‌دهد.

Age at Marriage, Family Duration and Individual's Income: An Economic Analysis of Marriage Benefits

چکیده [English]

The focus of this paper is to investigate economic analysis of the relationship between marriage benefits to age at marriage and its duration. Economic theory helps to understand that family formation has some benefits that emerge in various aspects. One of the benefits of marriage –such that is observed in literature of family– can be the increase of the income of couples after family formation. Accordingly, it is expected that age and duration of marriage affect individual's income that these effects are studied in current essay. Two samples are used to test hypotheses that include 415 married men and 409 married women. Data have gathered from Tehran by questionnaire. Results show that age at marriage and duration of living in spousal relation has positive and negative effect on income respectively. These findings imply that education is important factor which causes this reality. Education can postpone marriage and also increase the income in lifetime.
