[Genetic-demographic processes in urban populations of the Ukraine in the 1990's. Marriage structure of the Kharkov population].
The characteristics of marriages contracted in 1993 in two districts of the city of Khar'kov were studied. The age, education, occupation, ethnicity, and birthplace of the spouses were recorded. The genetic demographic parameters of the marriage structure were compared to the results of a similar study performed in 1985. It was found that since 1985, the average age of marriage and the educational level of spouses had increased, while the ethnic diversity and coefficients of contingency by the spouses' ethnicity and profession had decreased. The contingency coefficient for the birthplace has increased. The causes and genetic consequences of these changes are discussed.
