  • Which parental resources protect against early school-leaving? A structural equation modeling approach

    Open AccessLynn Van Vugt, Rolf Van Der Velden et al.ARTICLEEuropean Sociological Review2026

    Early school-leaving is considered a societal problem, but it is unclear which family factors explain this. In this article, we focus on three family resources that may explain early school-leaving: parent’s cognitive skills at age 12, parent’s educational attainment, and household income. By combining the Intergenerational Transmission of Skills dataset and administrative data from the Netherlands Cohort Study on Education, we follow the educati…

  • The effect of public childcare on the risk that mothers become Neet

    Open AccessLynn Van Vugt, Bart Golsteyn et al.ARTICLECommunity Work & Family2025References: 12

    Young women are much more likely to be NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) than young men. Little is known about the extent to which institutional and policy contexts can shape the relationship between young motherhood and NEET status – in particular with respect to the potential role of family policy. This paper explores the relationship between the risk that young mothers become NEET and the costs of Early Childhood Education and Ca…

  • Status mismatch and self-reported intimate partner violence in the European Union

    Open AccessLynn Van Vugt, Ioana Andreea PopARTICLEEuropean Societies2022References: 6

    We explore whether status mismatch in education or income within couples is associated with self-reported intimate partner violence (IPV) and whether a country’s context relates to this. We used data collected by the ‘FRA Violence Against Women Survey’ in 2012, and we identified three dimensions of self-reported IPV: IPV via controlling behaviour, psychological IPV, and physical IPV. Based on logistic multilevel estimates of approximately 21,000 …

  • The low skills trap

    Open AccessLynn Van Vugt, Mark Levels et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth Studies2022Cited by: 4References: 14

    This paper investigates to what extent the likelihood of young people being long-term NEET can be explained by low literacy skills, how this varies across advanced countries, and how this cross-national variation can be explained by education and social policies. We use PIAAC data and include macro-level indicators on education and social policies. We analyze the likelihood of being long-term NEET versus being in employment or in education/ train…

The Netherlands Cohort Study on Education [in Dutch abbreviated as NCO (Nationaal Cohortonderzoek Onderwijs)] uses longitudinal register data on track placement …
