Abstract

Abstract:This article investigates interracial marriage as part of a social reproduction process, looking at to what extent parental endogamy influences the endogamy of a child and how parental race affects the race of a child’s spouse. Data from the Brazilian Social Survey (PESB) for the year 2002 and logit models are used. The characteristics of parental union may influence the choice of a child’s partner through different mechanisms: i) socialization, ii) structural aspects of the individual’s marriage market, and iii) direct parental influence regarding partner choice. The results show that, on average, children of racially endogamous couples are about 78.8% more likely to be in an endogamous union themselves than in a racially exogamous marriage. Parental education is also significant. This means that higher parental education leads to an increased probability of an endogamous union. The results by type of parental union show that parental race matters only for exogamous couples, and an individual’s own race is more relevant among children of endogamous parents. The results for the analysis of parental race and the race of a child’s spouse show that having nonwhite parents decreases the probability of a child marrying a white spouse. For this specific case, parental education is not statistically significant. These results reinforce the race hierarchy in the process of racial assortative mating, when considering an individual’s own race and the race of their parents. The aspect of the intergenerational transmission of racial endogamy, as it relates to partner choice, is also clarified.

巴西的父母与子女的异族婚姻:异族婚姻作为代际传递过程的分析
摘要:本文将跨种族婚姻作为社会再生产过程的一部分进行研究,考察父母的内婚制在多大程度上影响子女的内婚制,以及父母的种族如何影响子女配偶的种族。数据来自2002年巴西社会调查(PESB)和logit模型。父母结合的特点可能通过不同的机制影响孩子对伴侣的选择:1)社会化;2)个人婚姻市场的结构方面;3)父母对伴侣选择的直接影响。结果显示,平均而言,种族内婚夫妇的孩子自己成为内婚伴侣的可能性比种族外婚夫妇的孩子高78.8%。父母的教育也很重要。这意味着父母的教育程度越高,内婚结合的可能性越大。父母结合类型的结果表明,父母种族只对外婚夫妇有影响,而一个人自己的种族与内婚父母的孩子更相关。对父母种族和孩子配偶种族的分析结果表明,拥有非白人父母会降低孩子与白人配偶结婚的可能性。在这个特殊的案例中,父母的教育在统计上并不显著。当考虑到一个人自己的种族和他们父母的种族时,这些结果加强了种族分类交配过程中的种族等级。还澄清了种族内婚制代际传播的方面,因为它与伴侣选择有关。
