Abstract:

Using data from the 1996 Demographic and Health Survey for the Dominican Republic this analysis explores the effects of couples’ education on men’s likelihood of reporting multiple sexual partners in the past 12 months. Net of individual, couple, household, and area characteristics, educational differences between spouses –particularly men and women’s overall educational attainment and the educational gap between spouses– significantly affect men’s likelihood of reporting multiple sexual partners. Improvements in women’s education vis-à-vis their partners decreases men’s likelihood of reporting multiple sexual partner. Nonetheless, men with high levels of education tend to report higher levels of multiple sexual partners in general. These results offer evidence of the link between women’s educational attainment and the emergence of more egalitarian gender relations within households.
