Life expectancy varies by socioeconomic status (SES), ethnicity and religion. Although education positively or negatively influences life expectancy, mechanisms underlying the education-life expectancy link across ethnic groups are not clearly understood. Drawing from human capital theory of learned effectiveness, this chapter systematically reviews relevant literature to understand SES, lifestyle and health as mechanisms by which education transmits different effects on life expectancy between majority and minority ethnic groups, focusing on Bangladesh. The systematic review suggests that lower SES, poor lifestyle and health mediate the association between lower-education and lower life expectancy in the minority groups compared to the majority group. This chapter also discusses future directions for longitudinal research and implications to improve life expectancy in the minority ethnic groups.

Family social background factors influence age-heterogamous marriages across societies. This chapter examines how social background factors such as ethnicity, gender socioeconomic status, traditional marriage norms, and patriarchal family structure exert negative effects on age-heterogamy than age-homogamy in first time marriage in collectivistic societies. Using empirical data from Bangladesh as a collectivistic society, the results indicated that most of the couples were age-heterogamous than age-homogamous in first time marriages. The results of bivariate correlation and binary logistic regression analysis suggested that age-heterogamous marriages were significantly associated with social bacground factors. Of the predicting factors, ethnicity, gender SES, middle family income, arranged marriage, middle family size, patrilocal residence, and autocratic family authority were the greatest (1-3% times) risks factors for age-heterogamous marriages in Bangladesh. The findings have implications in future causal research and policy practice in Bangladesh.

This chapter examines and compares how family socio-cultural values exert effect on early marriage across ethnic groups, focusing on Bangladesh. In doing so, 585 pairs of couples (295 for Muslim and 290 for Santal) were randomly selected from Bangladesh. Data were collected, applying questionnaire method in family setting. Then the collected data were analyzed, using X2 test and binary logistic regression (BLR) technique. The frequency distribution showed that most of the Santal couples compared to the Muslim were married before the minimum legal age in Bangladesh. Results of BLR analysis suggested that early age at first marriage was significantly (p<0.01 & p<0.05) associated with family socio-cultural values studied. It is argued that ethnicity, family pattern, residence pattern, illiteracy and ascriptive occupational status were the risk factors to persist early marriage among the Santal couples than the Muslim ones in rural Bangladesh.
