title: Age at marriage in Malaysia:  a hazard model of marriage timing.
abstract: "This paper estimates a proportional hazards model for the timing of age at marriage of women in Malaysia.  We hypothesize that age at marriage responds significantly to differences in male and female occupations, race, and age.  We find considerable empirical support for the relevance of economic variables in determining age at marriage as well as evidence of strong differences in marriage patterns across races."
