Abstract: |
Using a sample of Spanish Catholics, we examine the level of religiosity (measured by beliefs, by prayer and by church attendance) and the relationship between religiosity and a series of socioeconomic variables. A simultaneous estimation of equations of religiosity and schooling shows that: women are more religious than men; religious activity increases with age; there is a positive significant relationship between schooling and religiosity; no relationship between number of children at home and religiosity. The results also demonstrate the importance of the "professional opportunistic motive" for male religious behaviour. |
