Spinoff från dejtingtråden.... Enligt en nyare forskningsrapport utförd i Norge så är det ett vanligt fenomen att kvinnor söker en (manlig) partner som tjänar bättre (korrigerad för könsolikheter gällande genomsnittslön) än de själva. Så kallad "hypergami". Medan männen lägger mindre vikt vid vad kvinnan tjäner/inte är lika upptagna av att de ska ha ett bra betald jobb.
Är det så att dessa kvinnor inte egentligen vill ha ekonomisk jämställdhet? Men att de tycker det är fint att deras män sattsar på karriär och försörjar familjen ekonomiskt, så de själva evt. kan jobba mindre och stanna mera hemma med barnen? Eller finns det andra förklaringar på att det här fenomenet fortfarande eksisterar i ett av världens allra mest jämnställda samhällen?

Although the United Nations over the last 15 years has repeatedly declared that Norway is the most gender‐equal society in the world, substantial gender differences in pay and employment patterns remain. In this paper, we have offered theoretical explanations as to why gendered employment and earnings patterns may persist even with full gender equality in labor market opportunities; i.e., even in a society where the distributions of earnings‐potential are identical and where there is no gender discrimination.
The channel is the matching of men and women into households and the subsequent division of market and household work. Hypergamy implies that couples match such that the man has a higher earnings potential than the woman does. Combined with the standard economic theory of household specialization this provides a rationale for prioritizing his labor market career over hers. We have outlined theoretical foundations for the existence of hypergamy and we have presented overwhelming empirical evidence that hypergamy is an important feature of mating patterns in Norway. Households are systematically formed such that the man on average has the highest rank within the gender‐specific distribution of earnings potential, and men with very poor earnings prospects have a high probability of staying unmatched.
