| Slovaks top EU ranking in preferring partners with the same education |
| Bratislava, 23.09.2017 |

| Out of all EU countries, Slovaks are most likely to find a partner at university or work.
Slovaks lead in “professional homogamy” – they tend to choose their partner from the same or similar field of study or profession, showed research from the independent think-tank CERGE – EI. Out of the EU countries, Slovakia comes in at first place on the chart, followed by Germany and Greece.
Scientists examined 680,000 men and women from 24 EU countries that graduated from university in the years 1993 – 2013. They focused also on the level of education, field of study and field of study of the partner. The analysis included pairs that share a common household (128,040 pairs), 75 percent of whom are married, the portal Trend.sk wrote.
Scientists created index H to measure the effect of professional homogamy. It is the proportion between the real number of homogamic pairs in comparison with the hypothesis that those pairs could meet accidentally. If index H is 100 percent, it means there is double the probability that a pair will be professionally homogamic in comparison with random professional matching.
The value of index H ranges between 56 percent in Lithuania and 142 percent in Slovakia. When taking school into consideration, scientists found out that matching is influenced by the composition of students at the faculties. For example, in technical fields, where 80 percent of the students are men, it is almost impossible for them to find partner in that field. On the other hand, the 20 percent of women have many potential partners there. So women who studied traditionally “male” fields, created homogamic pairs in 60.5 percent of the cases, Trend.sk stated.
