Während das romantische Ideal besagt, dass sich "Herz zu Herzen findet", zeigt sich in der Realität häufig: Geld heiratet Geld. Wir diskutieren, wie die assortative Partnerwahl – also die Tendenz, Partner aus der gleichen Einkommens- oder Bildungsschicht zu wählen – zur wachsenden Ungleichheit beiträgt. Ein weiteres Thema sind die Auswirkungen von Dating-Apps auf den Heiratsmarkt. Studien zeigen, dass über die Hälfte der Ehen heutzutage durch Apps zustande kommen, was den Trend zur "Paarung unter Gleichen" verstärkt. Hier spielen vor allem Bildung, Einkommen und soziale Klasse eine Rolle. Die wachsenden Optionen führen aber nicht unbedingt zu einer besseren "Matching-Effizienz" – vielmehr verstärken sie die Selektivität bei der Partnerwahl. „Nehmen Sie `nen Alten!“, empfahl Otto Reuter in den 1920er Jahren den Frauen, da es Männermangel aufgrund des Ersten Weltkriegs gab. Heute gibt es hingegen einen Männerüberschuss im Osten Deutschlands, aber auch sonst haben es Männer auf dem Heiratsmarkt deutlich schwerer. Die Bildungsexpansion hat für die Frauen ausgezeichnet funktioniert, junge Frauen mit Studienabschluss sind nun in westlichen Ländern in der Überzahl. Diese gut ausgebildeten Frauen suchen adäquate Partner, von denen es aber nicht genügend gibt. Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Folge von „Wohlstand für Alle“!

About 75% of the world's population live in societies that practice of form of dowry payment. This is also known as brideprice and it is essentially wealth that a potential husband must pay to the family of his would-be wife. But in this way, brideprice acts as a kind of regressive flat tax that younger, and generally poorer men must pay to wealthier, older men. Hilary Matfess, a PHD candidate at Yale University, undertook a wide study of the impact of fluctuations in brideprice on broader issues related to conflict. She found that there is a positive correlation between changes in brideprice and the outbreak of violent conflict. In other words, when the cost of getting married increases, so too does the probability of armed conflict. Hilary Matfess published her findings a paper published in the 2017 issues of the academic journal International Security. In it, she and her co-author Valerie Hudson identify how the cost of getting married can lead to the outbreak of violent conflict and war. Anyone who has ever taken an international relations or security class knows that there are volumes of research on what causes the outbreak of violent conflict. Through case studies, which Matfess discusses in this conversation, the paper demonstrates how fluctuations in brideprices can lead to the outbreak of violent conflict. It is fascinating research with very real-world policy implications.   This is a re-broadcast of an August 2017 episode.     Become a premium subscriber to unlock bonus episodes, earn other rewards, and support the show!  

In this second part of the Boko Haram special episode John talks to Hilary Matfess about the role which women play in Boko Haram. It assesses their role within the group as well as as targets of Boko Haram. This discussion is largely based around her recent book 'Women and the War on Boko Haram: Wives, Weapons, Witnesses' published by Zed books.

Today we talked with Hilary Matfess about her new book Women and the War on Boko Haram: Wives, Weapons, Witnesses, just recently published by Zed Books in 2017. Drawn from her extensive research and interviews from 2015 to 2017, Matfess' book attempts to convey the myriad ways in which women have shaped the development and course of the Boko Haram insurgency. She attempts to debunk much of the conventional wisdom surrounding Boko Haram and women, most notably their presentation as victims lacking autonomy, and provides an insightful examination of these women who dominate much of Western perceptions of the African continent. Claiming that violence has been gendered during this conflict, Matfess provides a much needed reexamination of the nature of insurgency and the complexity of gender within Boko Haram. Hilary Matfess is a research analyst, a PhD student at Yale University in the Political Science Department, and a contributor to the Nigeria Social Violence Project at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. Jacob Ivey is an Assistant Professor of History at the Florida Institute of Technology. His research centers largely on the British Colony of Natal, South Africa, most notably European and African systems of state control and defence during the colony's formative period.

In this week's episode, I chat with Hilary Matfess (@HilaryMatfess), a doctoral student in political science at Yale University,  where she studies the intersection of conflict, governance, and gender. In our conversation, we talk about her new book, Women and the War on Boko Haram, which just came out this week. … More Ep36. A conversation with Hilary Matfess on women and Boko Haram

"It's absolutely become the norm for me to be the youngest, and at times most female person in the room. And it's really intimidating. But you kind of just have to put your head down and accept that you have a right to be there, and that more women should have the right to be at that table." This week, Hilary Matfess talks about being a young woman in traditionally masculine spaces, reporting in Sub-Saharan Africa, her early lupus diagnosis, and how she got her first book deal. Hilary is a senior program officer at the Center for Democracy and Development in Abuja, Nigeria, and a visiting fellow at the Institute for National Security Studies at the National Defense University, among about a hundred other credentials and affiliations. She's also a dear friend of mine, and her life and work ethic are amazingly inspiring.
