Fair and luck egalitarian inequality of opportunity
Different conceptions of inequality of opportunity have been developed in political philosophy. We focus on two competing conceptions: fair and luck egalitarian inequality of opportunity. We develop an empirical framework to measure and compare these conceptions. Both fair and luck egalitarian inequality of opportunity consider it unjust if ascribed characteristics such as social origin, gender, race, and ethnicity affect life outcomes. However, …
Does Expanding Free Secondary Education Moderate the Relationship Between Genes and Socioeconomic Outcomes? Evidence from the Education Act of 1944 in England
Parental responses to children’s early health disadvantages
Health problems experienced in the early years of life have detrimental consequences for the entire life course. However, parents can, through their child-rearing actions, alleviate or aggravate these effects. This article examines how parents respond to the early physical health disadvantages suffered by their children and whether parents from high- and low-socioeconomic backgrounds develop different responses to their children’s early health pr…
Do mothers’ occupation-specific skills impact children’s developmental processes
The protective role of parental work intensity for children in poverty in the United States
BACKGROUNDIn-work poverty -where families remain below the poverty threshold despite being employed -has been a persistent issue in many Western countries, particularly affecting families with children.Parents in such households may adjust their work intensity, namely the number of weeks worked annually, to buffer the negative impact of poverty on their children. OBJECTIVEThis study examines whether an increase in parental work intensity acts as …
The intergenerational effect of educational expansion
This article explores the relationship between parental education and children's educational outcomes, addressing endogeneity challenges inherent in traditional cross-sectional analyses. Specifically, we investigate whether the increase in education within the parental generation, produced by the 1970 Spanish Educational Reform, led to improved educational attainments in the subsequent generation and whether it brought a reduction of the overall …
Learning by parenting
Children's developmental processes are not always linear. During the childhood period, children usually experience ups and downs in their skills, and how parents respond to these changes can crucially condition the subsequent process of child development. This paper examines (1) how children's developmental declines impact the level of cognitive stimulation implemented by the mothers, and (2) whether these effects vary by socioeconomic groups. Us…
The Dark Side of Meritocratic Beliefs
Individuals’ perceptions of how the path toward success is built might affect their choices and behaviors. This study examines whether holding meritocratic beliefs has heterogeneous effects on the long-term socioeconomic outcomes of individuals from different SES. I argue that, when the hurdles faced by the less privileged groups during their educational and labor market trajectories clash with their meritocratic beliefs, the generated frustratio…
