Title: The Income Distribution Contribution to Marriage Rate in Iran
Abstract: We, in this paper, aim to find out the relationship between income distribution and the marriage rate in Iran. We used the Gini coefficient demonstrating the inequality in terms of income distribution, according the Iran’s available statistical data. Other control variables were studied in this research, too, including: Iranian household’ monthly expenditures, income per capita, literacy rate, and urbanization rate. The results show that there is a significant relationship between income distribution (using the income distribution inequality criterion) and marriage rate such that by increasing the income distribution inequality, the marriage rate per ten-thousand population will increase.
