The Role of Schooling in Equalizing Achievement Disparity by Migrant Background
Does schooling equalize achievement disparities among students with and without a migrant background? This question remains largely unanswered in sociology. We hypothesized that children of migrants would benefit more from schooling, thereby making schools engines of educational integration. Our study tests this hypothesis in the context of German primary schooling using data from the National Educational Panel Study. We compared the achievements…
Union dissolution and children's educational achievement: Separating Effects of School and Non-School Environments
We study whether the educational disadvantage of children from households where parents have dissolved their union is due to selection or deteriorating non-school environments and whether exposure to school environments compensates or exacerbates such disadvantage. We apply a differential exposure approach (DEA) to Danish population data collecting public-school reading comprehension tests. The approach exploits variation in children's birth date…
The Consequences of the Covid-19 Pandemic for Fertility and Birth Outcomes: Evidence from Spanish Birth Registers
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 …
Socioeconomic disparities in early language development in two Norwegian samples
Socioeconomic disparities in early language are widespread and have long-lasting effects. The aim of this study is to investigate when social gaps in language problems arise and how they change across the first years of schooling. We address this question in two large longitudinal Norwegian datasets: the Behavior Outlook Norwegian Developmental Study (BONDS) and the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study (MoBa). Despite some slight diffe…
Intragenerational wage mobility and social disadvantage: A comparative study of West Germany and the United States
This article studies wage mobility during the early career in West Germany and the United States. We examine the extent of intragenerational wage fluctuations, whether they structure into upward mobility trends or remain volatile variations, and whether mobility aligns with classical stratification dimensions (gender, social origin, and education). We highlight three main findings. First, intragenerational wage fluctuations are stronger in the Un…
Is Social Inequality in School-Age Achievement Generated before or during Schooling? A European Perspective
Social gaps in children’s educational achievement emerge early in life and remain stable over schooling. Does social origin constantly shape achievement or is social inequality in school just an echo of inequality settled before schooling? We extend the previous research by studying the origins of social gaps in language achievement among primary-school students in Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. Based on dynamic accounts of ski…
Does Schooling Decrease Socioeconomic Inequality in Early Achievement? A Differential Exposure Approach
Does schooling affect socioeconomic inequality in educational achievement? Earlier studies based on seasonal comparisons suggest schooling can equalize social gaps in learning. Yet recent replication studies have given rise to skepticism about the validity of older findings. We shed new light on the debate by estimating the causal effect of 1st-grade schooling on achievement inequality by socioeconomic family background in Germany. We elaborate a…
Socioeconomic Inequality in Children’s Achievement from Infancy to Adolescence: The Case of Germany
When in children’s lives do gaps by family socioeconomic status (SES) in cognitive skills emerge, how large are they before children enter school, and how do they develop over schooling? We study the evolution of achievement gaps by parental education from birth to adolescence in Germany. We exploit data from fifty-seven tests taken from the age of seven months to sixteen years by the National Educational Panel Study. Because Germany has one of t…
The direct effect of social origin on men’s occupational attainment over the early life course: An Italian–Dutch comparison
Institutions and the school-to-work transition: Disentangling the Role of the Macro-Institutional Context
Work experience during higher education and post-graduation occupational outcomes: A comparative study on four European countries
This article examines the relationship between work experience acquired during higher education and post-graduation labour market outcomes in four European countries: Germany, Italy, Norway and Spain. A theoretical framework that shows in which institutional contexts work experience may be a ‘competitive advantage’ for young graduates is developed. In the empirical analysis, data from the Higher Education and Graduate Employment in Europe (CHEERS…
