Compares the relationship between female education & first union formation in France vs in Sweden. As in Sweden, levels of female educational attainment & employment in France have risen dramatically in recent years, while entry into marriage has been increasingly delayed, according to national statistics.

It is concluded that the patterns of historical development of gender differ between France & Sweden, although there are still many similarities. 7 Tables, 2 Figures, 25 References. M. Wagner
