摘　　要：教育成就与文化资本、经济资本、社会资本甚至政治资本都密切相关;它既是自致性向上流动的主要阶梯与通道,也直接影响初婚年龄等婚姻行为。教育时间的延长必然挤占或缩短个体生命事件的其他时间。通过分析高等教育与女性初婚年龄之间的理论关联可以发现,教育经由相互纠缠的直接和间接双重路径形成校园禁闭、改变婚姻品味、降低婚姻收益而作用于初婚年龄。教育程度越高,初婚年龄也越高。这一理论发现可为理解中国人口婚育行为的转变提供一个补充视角。Educational achievement is closely related to cultural capital,economic capital,social capital and even political capital,and is both the main ladder and channel of attained upward mobility.It directly affects marital behaviors,including the age of first marriage.The extension of year of schooling inevitably squeezes and shortens the durations of other individual life events.This paper analyzes the theoretical association between higher education and women’s age at first marriage.It finds that education acts on age of first marriage directly and indirectly through campus confinement,changes of marital tastes and reduction of marital benefits.The higher the educational attainment is,the higher the women’s age at first marriage.These findings provide a complementary perspective for understanding the shifts in marital behavior of the Chinese population.
