title: Religious intermarriage in Switzerland, 1969-72 and 1979-82.
abstract: "Patterns of marriage between Protestants and Roman Catholics in Switzerland during 1969-72 and 1979-82 are investigated using magnitudes of marriage attraction, measures that reflect the propensity to marry independent of population composition.  The results show high levels of intermarriage, with religious differences becoming less salient in marriage choice.  There is no evidence that the propensity to intermarry is influenced by 'minority group' effects." (SUMMARY IN FRE)
