04/08/2008: "Smart women turn to marriage"

"There's something new going on, particularly among women," said researcher Genevieve Heard of the university's Centre for Population and Urban Research.

Women with a university degree are more likely to marry than their less-educated sisters, according to Australian research released Monday that reverses long-held views about bookish females.

But the group more likely to be married had reversed within the decade; with 61 percent of women aged 30 to 34 with degrees or higher married by 2006, compared with 53 percent of women in the same age group with no post-school qualifications.
