Abstract

To investigate the inter-generational links in educational attainment across Multiple regression with interaction terms to allow for gender differences at both generations.-Parents’ schooling is positively associated with the child’s educational attainment -The father’s employment has a larger positive effect for girls, and the mother’s employment has a negative effect only for boys. -In comparison to having a non-employed parent, the absence of a parent also has a significant effect on attainment which is positive in the case of absent fathers, but negative for mothers.
