Abstract

This research investigates the influence of socio-economic factors on marriage patterns in Indonesia through a quantitative analysis. Using a sample of 100 respondents, we examined the relationships between Education, Income, and Employment Status as independent variables and Marriage Decisions as the dependent variable. The results reveal that these socio-economic factors significantly impact individuals' decisions regarding marriage. Education was found to delay marriage and influence spouse selection based on compatibility, while higher income levels and employment status were associated with a greater inclination towards marriage, reflecting economic stability and independence. Furthermore, when considered collectively, these factors exhibited a substantial impact on marriage decisions. However, it is essential to acknowledge the role of cultural, familial, and individual factors that were not included in the model. These findings contribute to a nuanced understanding of the complex interplay of socio-economic factors in shaping marriage patterns in Indonesia.
