The purpose of this paper is that in order to elucidate the cause of the tendency to marry later or not marry, to investigate whether the type of employment affects the marital experience of man. It examines, applying the method of logistic regression to data drawn from Employment Status Survey by Ministry of internal affairs and communications. We hypothesized that upon selection of a marriage partner, to observe the signal that indicates the future income of men and women decide to get married on the basis of it. These are considered as a signal of future income of men that form of employment (regular employment of non-regular employment), that of first job, educational background or job changing. Based on the hypothesis, we analyzed which factors affect the rate of marital experience and how the effects of the factors vary by age group. The conclusions derived from the analysis are as follows. (1) To be a regular employment that is his signal of future income increases the probability of marriage of men through all age groups. (2) For the generation that graduated from the university after the collapse of the bubble economy, the employment patterns of first job was atypical reduces the probability of marriage experience. On the other hand, in previous generations it has no significant effect. (3) In the twenties and thirties, educational background is not effective as a signal of future income. And higher education is promoting the tendency to delay marriage of men.
