Abstract

Der Bildungserfolg von Kindern hängt in vielen Fällen von den materiellen und kulturellen Ressourcen der Eltern ab. In vielen Familien stellen jedoch auch Großeltern Ressourcen zur Verfügung, die direkt und indirekt die Bildungslaufbahn ihrer Enkelkinder unterstützen. Im vorliegenden Papier untersuchen wir aus einer Drei-Generationenperspektive, welchen Einfluss Großeltern auf den Bildungsabschluss ihrer Enkelkinder in verschiedenen europäischen Ländern haben. Mithilfe der Daten des Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) ist es möglich, die Bildungsweitergabe in einem Drei-Generationenkontext im internationalen Vergleich zu untersuchen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass der eigenständige Einfluss der Großeltern nicht zu vernachlässigen ist: Besonders wenn Eltern geringe Ressourcen haben und in Ländern mit geringen Bildungsausgaben, gleichen Großeltern diese Mängel aus.
