Abstract
In this article, we explored the pattern of educational assortative mating among Mexican families. We employed education fixed effects models to analyze the relationship between men’s years of schooling and the within-family gender difference in education. We found that Mexican migrant families had a “numerically” different mating pattern: compared with non-migrant families staying in Mexico, the within-family gender difference in education was relatively larger in a migrant family in which the husband received less than six years of education, but was relatively smaller in a migrant family in which the husband received more than six years of education.
