Abstract: We study how education affects cultural and sports attendance of spouses using the Survey on Living Conditions 2015. With a sample of 7920 heterosexual couples, we estimate bivariate models for attendance to cinema, visits to monuments, life performances and sports events. We conduct research at the intra-household level and estimate the marginal effect of female and male characteristics over the probability of having a household where both members participate in the same type of social activity. Own and spouse’s education, income and having young children (0–3 years old) are the main drivers of both partners’ attending the same activities. Both male and female education have a positive, but not statistically different effect, on these probabilities. The probability of both spouses participating in culture and sports activities increases with income and decreases with the presence of young children.
