How loneliness and school connectedness associate with academic self-efficacy in upper secondary education: A longitudinal analysis
Academic self-efficacy (ASE) is an established predictor of academic attainment. This longitudinal study investigates the development of ASE at the beginning of upper secondary education in Finland, focusing on the role of loneliness and school connectedness. Panel data from the first three semesters were analysed using individual-level fixed-effects regression. Results show a declining trend in ASE over time, an increase in loneliness negatively…
Health shocks and earnings trajectories: A comparative study of migrants and natives in Finland
Analysis of the effect of health shock on earnings among natives and migrants. • Use of rich register data, event study design and Difference-in-Differences models. • Experience of a health shock negatively affects earnings of natives and migrants. • The adverse effect was higher among migrants than among natives. • Employment conditions explain the differences more than the migrant status. The earnings gap between migrants and natives is well-do…
Leaving Home in Finland: A Comparison by Migration Origin and Neighbourhood Context
This paper examines how immigrant origin and neighbourhood environment intersect to shape the timing and pathways of leaving the parental home in Finland, a comparatively new migration destination. Using large‐scale longitudinal Finnish register data for the 1990–1995 birth cohorts ( N = 369,629), we analyse the dynamics of leaving home among majority and immigrant‐origin young adults. Our study demonstrates, for the first time, that the socio‐sp…
Persistent Trends or Pandemic Effects? A Multi-Cohort Longitudinal Study on Student Well-being, Inequality, and Educational Transitions
This cross-cohort longitudinal study examined changes in student well-being and the relationship between student well-being and educational choice during the COVID-19 pandemic. It compared two during-pandemic cohorts (spanning grades 5–9 from 2017 to 2021 and 2019–2023) to a pre-pandemic cohort (2015–2019), thus accounting for typical age-related trends and pre-pandemic cohort differences before isolating the pandemic’s impact. The study utilized…
Intergenerational social mobility of cohorts born from 1951 to 1980 in Finland
Theories of change in social class mobility present contrasting expectations of either change or persistence in mobility as societies develop. This article examines intergenerational social class mobility for cohorts born from 1951 to 1980 in Finland. We analyse change across cohorts in the main association between social origins and destinations and the intervening associations between origins and education and education and destinations. We inv…
Research Handbook on Intergenerational Inequality
The Research Handbook on Intergenerational Inequality is motivated by a core question in social science: to what extent does one’s family background and childhood experience predict success in life? Bringing together experts in their respective fields from across the globe, this innovative Research Handbook provides a comprehensive multidisciplinary account of the rich research on intergenerational inequality, focusing on its origins in sociology…
Influence of track placement and teachers' perceptions of children's academic schoolwork skills on the development of children's motivational self-beliefs and achievement
In this study, we analyzed longitudinal data from 1065 Finnish elementary school students to examine how teachers' perceptions of students' academic schoolwork skills and track placement influence children's motivational self-beliefs and achievement. Our findings indicate, that teachers' perceptions of students, which varied notably based on the students' gender, their mothers' education level, and their class types, significantly affected childr…
Parental involvement in elementary schools and children’s academic achievement: A longitudinal analysis across educational groups in Finland
Building social capital in a new home country. A closer look into the predictors of bonding and bridging relationships of migrant populations at different education levels
This article explores the factors that may facilitate or hinder the development of migrant social capital in a settlement country. We build on Robert Putnam’s dyad of bonding and bridging social capital, which are here combined into a single categorical dependent variable. As earlier research shows that higher educated migrants tend to form more extensive social relationships, we explore whether they draw from different background factors to buil…
Persistent university intentions: Social origin differences in stopping applying to university after educational rejection(s)
Re-applying after an educational rejection is a considerable but understated part of access to selective educational institutions. We study social inequalities in stopping applying to university after an educational rejection to identify the extent to which educational intentions are more constrained among students from the lower social strata. We explore applications to universities in Finland, where student selection takes place at the gates of…
The Behavioral and Mental Health Benefits of Speaking the Heritage Language within Immigrant Families: The Moderating Role of Family Relations
Understanding the development of behavioral and mental health issues among adolescents, particularly those from immigrant families, is a key area of concern. Many prior studies have focused on the role of societal (country-of-destination) language skills, but we know less about the role played by the use of the heritage language in families. We examined this latter relationship with a focus on changes in heritage language use and internalizing an…
Language Choices at Home and Their Relationship With Educational Outcomes, With a Special Focus on Children With Origins in Former Yugoslavia and Turkey in Six European Countries
Language has been conceptualized as both a measure as well as a predictor of integration among immigrants and their children. However, the relationship between language spoken at home and different educational outcomes remains poorly understood. Many studies indicate that nurturing students' first languages is positively associated with their learning at school. Other research suggests that one of the reasons why children of immigrants tend to pe…
The role of partnering and assortative mating for income inequality: The case of Finland, 1991-2014
Previous studies covering various developed countries suggest that changes in assortative mating by education have contributed only a little to the changes in income inequality, opposite to the expectations of many. In this paper we consider two potential reasons for the zero effects: (a) that it is the selection into partnership rather than assortative mating according to specific characteristics that matters; and (b) that for assortative mating…
Not in a Class of One's Own: Social Origin Differentials in Applying to Gender-(A)Typical Fields of Study across the Educational Hierarchy
How and why does social origin matter for gender-segregated field of study choices? Analyses of gender-(a)typical educational interests have framed social origin differentials primarily through the lens of socialization, resting on the idea that children from socioeconomically advantaged families develop less gender-stereotypical interests via more egalitarian notions of gender roles. The social stratification literature, on the other hand, has d…
Geographical mobility and children’s non‐completion of upper secondary education in Finland and Germany: Do parental resources matter
It is often assumed that families migrate to improve their economic and social prospects, and that these additional resources can benefit the whole family. However, existing research suggests that many children who have experienced (internal) migration underperform compared to their non‐migrating peers in terms of different socioeconomic outcomes. In this article, we study the effects of geographical mobility on children’s non‐completion of upper…
Compensatory and Multiplicative Advantages: Social Origin, School Performance, and Stratified Higher Education Enrolment in Finland
The rules of intake, which determine how educational institutions are accessed, play a significant part in generating intergenerational educational inequalities. Different rules may allow parental advantages to compensate for students' lack of advantages (such as academic performance) or to multiply and help only those students who are in a position to use such additional advantages. In this article, we study compensation and the multiplication o…
Behind every successful (wo)man is a successful parent-in-law? The association between resources of the partner’s parents and individual’s occupational attainment
Parents-in-law tend to form an important part of individuals’ social capital and thus can be expected to have an influence on occupational mobility. With Finnish Census Panel data of almost 100,000 individuals born between 1970 and 1979, followed from the age of 18 to their late thirties, we study whether the resources of the parents-in-law are associated with status attainment. We find that an increase in the resources of parents-in-law is posit…
Conditions and Consequences of Unequal Educational Opportunities in the Life Course: Results from the Cross-National Comparative eduLife Project
Institutional change and parental compensation in intergenerational attainment
Previous research has shown how institutional changes, such as educational expansion, have weakened parental influence on educational attainment. We extend this analysis to occupational attainment and put forth a parental compensation hypothesis: as the origin-education (OE) association weakens, parents act to compensate for this in order to maintain their influence on the child's occupational attainment. We should see this as a strengthened orig…
Resource Compensation from the Extended Family: Grandparents, Aunts, and Uncles in Finland and the United States
The majority of studies on social and educational mobility neglect the role of the extended family. We argue that this misses important ways in which extended family members may help compensate disadvantage in children’s immediate family. Moreover, existing studies on extended family members have focused on grandparents, with only a couple of studies considering aunts and uncles. We examine the role of both grandparents’ and aunts and uncles’ res…
Social Inequality Across the Generations: The Role of Compensation and Multiplication in Resource Accumulation
Does adult education contribute to securing non-precarious employment? A cross-national comparison
The objective of this article is to analyse the effect of acquiring a new formal qualification as an adult (measured as an upgrade or a side-step) on the likelihood of being in non-precarious employment. Three countries with similar longitudinal datasets are compared: Spain, the UK and Russia. The results indicate that adult education is beneficial in the three countries; with differences, however, depending on the definition of precarious employ…

Citizenship and Educational Attainment amongst the Second Generation: An Analysis of Children of Immigrants in Finland
Citizenship acquisition is often viewed as an indicator of immigrant integration as well as an event that spurs integration further. Relatively little is known about the relationship between citizenship and integration for children of immigrants. This article examines the relationship between citizenship and educational attainment at approximately age 16 in Finland using register data. Results suggest that children of immigrants who are Finnish c…
Gender Inequalities in the Education of the Second Generation in Western Countries
Drawing on comparative analyses from nine Western countries, we ask whether local-born children from a wide range of immigrant groups show patterns of female advantage in education that are similar to those prevalent in their host Western societies. We consider five outcomes throughout the educational career: test scores or grades at age 15, continuation after compulsory schooling, choice of academic track in upper-secondary education, completion…
The Second Generation in Western Europe: Education, Unemployment, and Occupational Attainment
This paper reviews recent research in ten Western European countries on the educational and labor market outcomes of second-generation minorities. Minorities from less-developed origins appear to be particularly disadvantaged in education, access to the labor market, and occupational attainment. Disadvantages are most evident with test scores early in the school career, but in some countries minorities have higher continuation rates beyond the co…
Continuation to upper secondary education in Finland: Children of immigrants and the majority compared
The education of children of immigrants is an important aspect of the integration of immigrant groups into receiving societies. This article focuses on the first transition in the Finnish education system. Two aspects are analysed: continuation versus dropping out and choice of upper secondary school type (general versus vocational). Results suggest that children of immigrants tend to have a higher probability of dropping out of education at this…

Does Finnish Educational Equality Extend to Children of Immigrants: Examining national origin, gender and the relative importance of parental resources
This article examines the achievement of immigrants' children in schools in Finland at the end of compulsory education. Results suggest that differences between groups are relatively small after controlling for parental resources. However, parental education has a smaller effect and parental income a larger one for children of immigrants than the majority. This reveals a disadvantaged group with immigrant parents who have high education levels bu…
