The 1980-99 period in Argentina was characterized by an extraordinary increase in unemployment rate, for both male and females, and an increase in women labor force participation. At the same time, especially since 1 990, the marriage rate shows a remarkable decrease. This phenomenon has been more evident among the young population and most of the substitution was away from marriage and toward consensual union and single. For instance, the percentage of married women between the ages of 17 and 29 decreased from 37% in 1980 to 16% in 1999. On the other hand, the percentage of single women and women in consensual union increased from 54% and 5% to 68% and 14% respectively. These changes are remarkable, specially taking into account thatAigentina introduced the "divorce law" in 1987, which decreased the cost of marriage engagement. One tempting explanation to the decrease in marriage rate could be based on changes in "social rules" or preferences among the young population. For example, one of the most important newspapers in Argentina said: "The specialists see in this crisis of marriage a denunciation of the social institutions of the modernity, "the stereotype of the perfect family, the idea that one gets married to have children immediately, the conjugal fidelity that, in most cases, was a lie because it was not fulfilled", enumerates Loyacono, president of the Argentine Society of Family Therapy. And in every denunciation there is an attempt of transformation, wishes to change the rules of the game." 16/12/01, Clarin. This article evaluates two possible explanations: the first hypothesis is that a change in social rules or values, or in some unobservable factor, was the driving force behind this phenomena, and the second is that declining labor market opportunities for young people resulted in a reduction in the gains of marriage, therefore a decline in the marriage rate. In order to evaluate these explanations, we estimate a multi-logit model for young women marriage decision using micro-data from Area Metropolitana and Gran Buenos Aires, for the 1 9801 999 period.
