  • Luck and Predictability in the Life Course

    A Van De Rijt, Fabrizio Bernardi et al.•ARTICLE•Annual Review of Sociology•2026

    There is an emerging recognition among sociological theorists that luck may play a substantial role in life course achievement. There is also a nascent empirical literature that finds life outcomes to be unpredictable and unexpected life events to be a likely cause. A third literature of causal event studies provides thousands of point estimates of the life course consequences of random events. This review brings these literatures together under …

  • Spatial Variation in the Educational Gradient of First Motherhood in Spain

    Open Access•Manuel T Valdés, Cristina Suero et al.•ARTICLE•Population Space and Place•2025•Referencias: 9

    Several studies have analyzed the relationship between educational attainment and fertility across countries, identifying significant differences. However, these works often overlook intra‐country variation, which may play an important role in moderating that relationship. This study examines the heterogeneity in the educational gradient of fertility across Spain, a context characterized by lowest‐low and latest‐late fertility. Using data from th…

  • The geography of tertiary education inequality in Europe

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, Ilaria Lievore et al.•ARTICLE•European Societies•2025

    In this article we study differences in levels of educational inequality across European countries and regions. We address two research questions. First, we ask whether educational inequality in geographical Europe is shaped to a larger extent by the country or the region within the country where an individual resides. Second, we investigate whether convergence in levels of educational inequality has occurred across territorial units in Europe. S…

  • Socioeconomic Status, Genotype, and the Differential Effects of Parental Separation on Educational Attainment

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, Gaia Ghirardi•ARTICLE•Demography•2025•Referencias: 87

    Prior research has consistently documented a more pronounced negative impact of parental separation on educational attainment among children from families with high socioeconomic status (SES). This study leverages molecular data to investigate how the parental separation penalty on educational attainment varies by SES and children's genetic propensity for education. We replicate the analysis on two distinct datasets, the National Longitudinal Stu…

  • Do university-educated families lose their edge as education expands? The withering performance and advantage of their children

    Open Access•Manuel T Valdés, Fabrizio Bernardi et al.•ARTICLE•Social Forces•2025•Referencias: 10

    Extensive research has examined the effect of educational expansion in one cohort on educational inequality and occupational returns in that same cohort. This study makes a novel contribution by exploring whether the expansion of university education among parents affects their children’s academic achievement. We argue that this expansion reduces the selectivity of university attainment, making graduates progressively less selected on traits rele…

  • Month of Birth, Early Academic Achievement, and Parental Expectations of University Completion

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, Manuel T Valdés•ARTICLE•Sociology of Education•2025•Referencias: 61

    Previous studies have shown that educational expectations of individuals with high socioeconomic status (SES) are relatively unaffected by low academic performance, a phenomenon called 'sticky expectations.' However, this result might be biased by endogeneity and reverse causality between academic achievement and educational expectations. Using data from the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study from 11 countries with a strict sch…

  • Compensating or boosting genetic propensities? Gene-family socioeconomic status interactions by educational outcome selectivity

    Open Access•Gaia Ghirardi, Fabrizio Bernardi•ARTICLE•Social Science Research•2025•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 96

    This study investigates the extent to which the genetic propensity for education - measured using the polygenic index (PGI) for educational attainment – matters more for the final educational attainment of high or low socio-economic status (SES) students. We propose a model integrating social stratification theories, such as the compensatory and boosting advantage models, into sociogenomics, highlighting the role of educational outcome selectivit…

  • Interaction of family SES with children’s genetic propensity for cognitive and noncognitive skills

    Open Access•Gaia Ghirardi, Carlos J Gil-Hernández et al.•ARTICLE•Research in Social Stratification…•2024•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 10

    This study examines the role of genes and environments in predicting educational outcomes. We test the Scarr-Rowe hypothesis, suggesting that enriched environments enable genetic potential to unfold, and the compensatory advantage hypothesis, proposing that low genetic endowments have less impact on education for children from high socioeconomic status (SES) families. We use a pre-registered design with Netherlands Twin Register data (426 ≤ N ind…

  • Poor air quality at school and educational inequality by family socioeconomic status in Italy

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, Risto Conte Keivabu•ARTICLE•Research in Social Stratification…•2024•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 5

    This paper investigates social stratification in the context of poor air quality's impact on educational achievement in Italy, a country characterized by high levels of air pollution and significant geographical diversity. We address two primary questions: firstly, whether students from different socio-economic backgrounds vary in their exposure to high levels of particulate matter (PM2.5) at school, and secondly, if the effect of exposure to poo…

  • From the Streets to the Voting Booth

    Open Access•Francesco Colombo, A Ferrara et al.•ARTICLE•Public Opinion Quarterly•2024•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 27

    Is anti-far-right grassroots mobilization effective? Scholars studying the far right have focused extensively on the causes and consequences of far-right success but have paid little attention to what citizens and civil society can do to tackle this phenomenon. Focusing on the surge of Sardine (the Sardines), an anti-far-right social movement, during the 2020 Italian regional elections, we test whether grassroots mobilization is an effective tool…

  • The Consequences of the Covid-19 Pandemic for Fertility and Birth Outcomes

    Open Access•Marco Cozzani, P Fallesen et al.•ARTICLE•Population and Development Review•2024•Citada por: 7•Referencias: 72

    We examine the joint consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for fertility and birth outcomes by drawing on full population administrative data from Spain. We find a surprising improvement in birth outcomes in November and to a less extent in December 2020 (eight to nine months after the first wave of the pandemic) compared with monthly trends in the 10 previous years (2010-2019). The improvement in birth outcomes was shortly followed by a decline …

  • Trends and Determinants of Intergenerational Educational Inequality in Sub-Saharan Africa for Birth Cohorts 1974 to 2003

    Open Access•Ilze Plavgo, Fabrizio Bernardi•ARTICLE•Sociology of Education•2024•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 13

    This article expands the scope of comparative social stratification research in education to rapidly developing, largely low-income sub-Saharan Africa. First, we investigate trends in the association between parental socioeconomic status (SES) and children's chances to attend and complete primary education, exploring whether and where educational expansion of the early twenty-first century led to equalization of educational opportunities. Drawing…

  • Political socialization, parental separation, and political ideology in adulthood

    Open Access•Mathilde M Van Ditmars, Fabrizio Bernardi•ARTICLE•Frontiers in Political Science•2023•Referencias: 30

    The increase in divorce rates over the past decades challenges the traditional image of the two-parent family, as new family forms are increasingly more common. Yet, the traditional view of the family has remained central to political socialization research. Therefore, we propose and empirically test a theoretical framework regarding the consequences of parental separation for processes of political socialization. While the impact of parental div…

  • Gendered Diverging Destinies

    Open Access•D Boertien, Fabrizio Bernardi•ARTICLE•Demography•2022•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 62

    The prevalence of nontraditional family structures has increased over time, particularly among socioeconomically disadvantaged families. Because children's socioeconomic attainments are positively associated with growing up in a two-parent household, changing family structures are considered to have strengthened the reproduction of social inequalities across generations. However, several studies have shown that childhood family structure relates …

  • Parental education, divorce, and children's educational attainment

    Open Access•Raffaele Guetto, Fabrizio Bernardi et al.•ARTICLE•Demographic Research•2022•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 31

    Children who experience parental divorce have worse long-term educational attainment than children living in intact families. Less clear is the extent to which heterogeneity in the divorce penalty depends on parentsâ socioeconomic background and contextual

  • Maternal Stress and Pregnancy Outcomes Evidence from a Natural Experiment

    Open Access•Marco Cozzani, Moris Triventi et al.•ARTICLE•European Sociological Review•2022•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 65

    Previous studies have shown that the reproduction of social background inequality starts at birth and even in the womb. We advance the understanding of the inequality in early life outcomes by analysing whether prenatal stress affects prematurity and low birth weight and how this effect varies by parental socio-economic status (SES). To address the endogeneity of prenatal maternal stress and pregnancy outcomes, we use a natural experiment and con…

  • Sticky educational expectations

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, Manuel T Valdés•ARTICLE•Research in Social Stratification…•2021•Citada por: 14•Referencias: 13

    This work studies the cross-country variability in the interaction effect between academic achievement and social origin on the configuration of the expectation of enrolment in the academic track of upper secondary education. Drawing on the Relative Risk Aversion Theory and the Compensatory Advantage model, we anticipate that academic achievement and social origin interact so that high-SES students’ expectations are irresponsive to low academic a…

  • Soccer Scores, Short-Term Mood and Fertility

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, Marco Cozzani•ARTICLE•European Journal of Population /…•2021•Referencias: 40

    Previous research has shown that seemingly irrelevant events such as unexpected outcomes in sporting events can affect mood and have relevant consequences for episodes of crime and violence, investing behavior and political preferences. In this article, we test whether mood shocks associated with unexpected results in soccer matches in Spain affect fertility. We use data on betting odds and actual scores to define mood shocks and link them to bir…

  • The Social-Origins Gap in Labour Market Outcomes

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, Carlos J Gil-Hernández•ARTICLE•European Sociological Review•2021•Citada por: 20•Referencias: 41

    Recent studies document a social-origins gap or direct effect of social origin (DESO) on labour market outcomes over and above respondents' education, challenging the idea that post-industrial societies are education-based meritocracies. Yet, the literature offers insufficient explanations on DESO heterogeneity across education and different labour market outcomes. Little is also known about underlying mechanisms. We contribute by answering two q…

  • Compensatory advantage in educational transitions

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, Moris Triventi•ARTICLE•Acta Sociologica•2020•Citada por: 40•Referencias: 34

    In this article, first, we present new evidence on a specific type of compensatory advantage (CA) mechanism in educational transitions and attainment, whereby students from socio-economically advantaged families compensate the negative event of achieving poor grades by ignoring them and disproportionally moving on to the next level of education. Using two independent data sources, we focus on the attainment of an upper secondary degree and the tr…

  • Same-Sex Parents and Children’s School Progress

    Open Access•D Boertien, Fabrizio Bernardi•ARTICLE•Demography•2019•Citada por: 6•Referencias: 64

    Research is divided as to whether children living in same-sex parent families achieve different outcomes compared with their peers. In this article, we improve on earlier estimates of such differences and subsequently study whether and why the association between parental union sex composition and children’s school progress changed over time. Data from the American Community Survey waves 2008–2015 (N = 1,952,490 including 7,792 children living wi…

  • Childhood Family Structure and the Accumulation of Wealth Across the Life Course

  • Connubium (Who Marries Whom?)

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, Chiara Ludovica Comolli•OTHER•The Blackwell Encyclopedia of…•2017

    The question “Who marries whom?” refers to patterns of partner choice. The tendency to marry (or to enter a long‐term relationship such as cohabitation with) a person who belongs to the same social group, or who is similar with regard to certain characteristics, is also known as homogamy. Sociologists have traditionally been interested in three individual characteristics that can be important in the choice of a partner: race/ethnicity, religion, …

  • Compensatory Advantage as a Mechanism of Educational Inequality

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi•ARTICLE•Sociology of Education•2014•Citada por: 113•Referencias: 30

    Compensatory advantage is a mechanism of social stratification that complements cumulative advantage and path dependence. In this article, I first discuss the theoretical foundations of the compensatory advantage and path dependence mechanisms and the methodological challenges that complicate identification of their effects. Next, I present a practical demonstration of the use of the compensatory advantage theoretical framework, with a regression…

  • The Recent Fast Upsurge of Immigrants in Spain and Their Employment Patterns and Occupational Attainment

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, Luis Garrido et al.•ARTICLE•International Migration•2010•Citada por: 56•Referencias: 1

    This article provides an analysis of employment and occupational attainment of recent immigrants to Spain. We use data from the Spanish labour force surveys for the years between 2002 and 2007 and compare the probability of being active versus inactive and that of being employed versus unemployed among immigrants and native‐born Spaniards, using logistic regression models. The paper then moves on to investigate the quality of the occupation achie…

  • Understanding Heterogeneity in the Effects of Parental Separation on Educational Attainment in Britain

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, D Boertien•ARTICLE•European Sociological Review•2016•Citada por: 35•Referencias: 39

    We use the British Cohort Study 1970 to show that the proportion of children achieving a tertiary education degree is 8 percentage points lower for the offspring of separated parents than for children from intact families. Moreover, the children of highly educated parents experience a two times larger 'separation penalty' than the children of less educated parents. We find a similar pattern of heterogeneity in effects for the likelihood of partic…

  • Previous School Results and Social Background

    In this article, we analyse whether previous school results have a social background-specific impact on a student’s decision to continue in schooling. We refer to the model proposed by Breen and Goldthorpe (1997) and scrutinize the theoretical underpinnings of the interaction between previous school performance and educational choices. We provide two sets of predictions. First, a compensatory effect might occur if inequality is greater among the …

    We examine whether the presence of non-intact families in society is related to increased inequality in educational attainment according to social background, as suggested by the 'diverging destinies' thesis. We analyze four countries, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States, that differ in the prevalence of non-intact families and in the strength of the negative association between growing up in a non-intact family and children…

  • Persistent Inequalities? Expansion of Education and Class Inequality in Italy and Spain

    The paper analyses inequalities in educational outcomes (IEO) by class of family of origin in Italy and Spain for five 10-year cohorts born from 1920 to 1969, using the cumulative logit (ordinal regression) model. In both countries the question is whether, as education expanded, the class IEO's remained stable or diminished. The dominant view in the 1990s was that, with the exception of a few countries, inequalities persisted. In the current deca…

    In recent years, researchers have become increasingly interested in how the effects of parental separation on children's educational attainment vary with social background. On the one hand, parents with more resources might be better able to prevent possible adverse events like separation to affect their children's outcomes. On the other hand, children from higher social backgrounds might have more resources to lose from a parental separation. A …

  • Is There a New Service Proletariat? Post-industrial Employment Growth and Social Inequality in Spain

    Fabrizio Bernardi, L Garrido et al.•ARTICLE•European Sociological Review•2008•Citada por: 17•Referencias: 4

    In Spain the absolute number of employed persons has increased from about 12,300,000 persons in 1994 to 19,300,000 at the end of 2005. In the same period, the number of immigrants has increased from about 500,000 to more than 4 million. The aim of this paper is to analyse the implications of these changes for social inequality. In particular, we investigate whether a new type of unskilled service class is likely to emerge as a distinct social cla…

    The question “Who marries whom?” refers to patterns of partner choice. The tendency to marry (or enter a long‐term relationship such as cohabitation) a person who belongs to the same social group or who is similar with regard to certain characteristics is also known as homogamy. Since Weber argued that connubium (i.e., marriage) is one of the indicators of status group closure, homogamy has become a key object of study in order to highlight prope…

    In Spain the absolute number of employed persons has increased from about 12,300,000 persons in 1994 to 19,300,000 at the end of 2005. In the same period, the number of immigrants has increased from about 500,000 to more than 4 million. The aim of this paper is to analyse the implications of these changes for social inequality.

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, Luis Garrido et al.•ARTICLE•International Migration•2010•Citada por: 56•Referencias: 1

    This article provides an analysis of employment and occupational attainment of recent immigrants to Spain. We use data from the Spanish labour force surveys for the years between 2002 and 2007 and compare the probability of being active versus inactive and that of being employed versus unemployed among immigrants and native‐born Spaniards, using logistic regression models. The paper then moves on to investigate the quality of the occupation achie…

    This article analyses the risk of occupying an unskilled job for young people in Spain over the last 30 years. In order to study change over time, all of the quarters of the Spanish Labor Force Survey have been used, from the third quarter of 1976 to the third quarter of 2007. The results show that the likelihood of having an unskilled job has decreased slightly. The logit regressions highlight: 1) the continuing importance of education in helpin…

  • Female Education and Marriage Dissolution

    Fabrizio Bernardi, J-I Martinez-Pastor•ARTICLE•European Sociological Review•2011•Citada por: 13•Referencias: 16

    Various papers have shown that in countries and cohorts where the rate of divorce is low, women with higher education are more likely to get divorced. However, when divorce becomes more common, the relationship between female education and marriage dissolution changes from being positive to being negative. The first aim of this article is to investigate whether the reversal in the educational gradient in marital dissolution is observed in Spain, …

  • Participation, equality of opportunity and returns to tertiary education in contemporary Europe

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi, Gabriele Ballarino•ARTICLE•European Societies•2012•Citada por: 12•Referencias: 13

    The aim of the paper is to investigate the consequences of the expansion of higher education on two goals of the education system, namely promoting equity of educational opportunities and providing credentials that facilitate the matching of labour supply and demand. The first goal is typically studied by research on inequality of educational opportunity; the second by research on returns to education and credential inflation. The key idea of the…

  • Compensatory Advantage as a Mechanism of Educational Inequality

    Open Access•Fabrizio Bernardi•ARTICLE•Sociology of Education•2014•Citada por: 113•Referencias: 30

    Compensatory advantage is a mechanism of social stratification that complements cumulative advantage and path dependence. In this article, I first discuss the theoretical foundations of the compensatory advantage and path dependence mechanisms and the methodological challenges that complicate identification of their effects. Next, I present a practical demonstration of the use of the compensatory advantage theoretical framework, with a regression…

  • Previous School Results and Social Background

    Fabrizio Bernardi, Héctor-Cebolla Boado•ARTICLE•European Sociological Review•2014•Citada por: 32•Referencias: 19

    In this article, we analyse whether previous school results have a social background-specific impact on a student’s decision to continue in schooling. We refer to the model proposed by Breen and Goldthorpe (1997) and scrutinize the theoretical underpinnings of the interaction between previous school performance and educational choices. We provide two sets of predictions. First, a compensatory effect might occur if inequality is greater among the …
