Today, a troubling trend—or rather, an imbalance—can be observed in many leading countries. As some sociologists have correctly pointed out, people with higher levels of education tend to choose partners who are similarly educated. The problem, however, is that access to education is not equal for everyone.

Educated individuals enter into competition with those who either do not want to pursue higher education or are unable to do so. As a result, educated people often have an advantage in the search for a life partner because they can rely on their knowledge, intelligence, and social opportunities. Consequently, they are often the first to find the most promising candidates for a successful marriage.

Meanwhile, people without higher education are left at a disadvantage. Although this trend may not be highly visible at first glance, its effects can be observed, and those effects are largely negative.
