Some of this effect may also be driven by the increasing tendency for South Korea men to import foreign bridges, chiefly from poorer Asian countries such as China, The Philippines, and Vietnam, with the husband-wife age gap in such relationships being larger on average.<ref>https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20171116000879</ref> | Some of this effect may also be driven by the increasing tendency for South Korea men to import foreign bridges, chiefly from poorer Asian countries such as China, The Philippines, and Vietnam, with the husband-wife age gap in such relationships being larger on average.<ref>https://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20171116000879</ref> | ||

It can be averred that the Korean men who import foreign brides are generally men that are more likely to be sexless otherwise, as they are more often older men with a lower level of educational attainment. South Korea is one of the most educated countries in the world and it has mirrored the general trend in developed countries for women to become more educated than men over time, judging by enrollment rates in higher educated broken down by sex.<ref>https://www.oecd.org/country/korea/thematic-focus/gender-equality-korea-has-come-a-long-way-but-there-is-more-work-to-do-8bb81613/</ref> | |||
Indeed, Raymo & Park (2020) found that declines in marriage rates for lower-educated men were more driven by changes in marital market composition (more educated) compared to more highly educated men, and that the increasing tendency for men of low SES (as judged by education) helped to flatten the decline in marriage that would've occurred in that cohort based on their projections. The increasing trend to import foreign brides made little difference to marriage trends for highly educated men.<ref>https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7382948/</ref> | |||
As noted above, Korean men also import wives from countries that are comparatively poorer than South Korea at a higher rate, while women (who marry those of foreign citizenship less) are more likely to marry men from countries such as the United States (it is claimed that these are mostly ethnic Koreans).<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_in_Korea#Marriages_between_Koreans_and_non-Koreans/</ref> | |||
This marriage pattern is congruent with a general trend of citizenship hypergamy in international marriages where women from poorer countries tend to marry men from wealthier countries.<ref>https://www.researchgate.net/publication/306441557_Why_Do_Finnish_Men_Marry_Thai_Women_But_Finnish_Women_Marry_British_Men_Cross-National_Marriages_in_a_Modern_Industrialized_Society_Exhibit_Sex-Dimorphic_Sexual_Selection_According_to_Primordial_Selec</ref> | |||
The number of South Korean men married to foreign women has more than doubled from 2007-2019<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-57716704</ref> and some local governments in South Korea grant subsidies to men who seek foreign brides in an effort to ameliorate South Korea's low fertility rate crisis.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-48917935</ref> | The number of South Korean men married to foreign women has more than doubled from 2007-2019<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-57716704</ref> and some local governments in South Korea grant subsidies to men who seek foreign brides in an effort to ameliorate South Korea's low fertility rate crisis.<ref>https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-48917935</ref> | ||
