The mediating role of school absenteeism in the socioeconomic achievement gap
Does the impact of pupil absences on achievement depend on their timing
Using linked data from the Millennium Cohort Study and National Pupil Database (N = 8,139), this study examined how the timing of school absences (years 1 to 11 between 2006 and 2017) affects achievement at the end of compulsory schooling in England. Absences during any school year are harmful to student achievement. However, absences in years 1 and 6 (the final year of primary school), and between years 6 to 10 (the penultimate year of compulsor…
The educational wealth divide in Europe
The keys to the house - How wealth transfers stratify homeownership opportunities
This study investigates how actual and anticipated intergenerational wealth transfers – i.e., inter vivos gifts and inheritances – contribute to inequalities in the transition to homeownership by parental social class. Utilizing discrete-time survival analysis on data from the German Socioeconomic Panel Study (N = 13,018), we find that individuals whose parents were manual workers or service workers are less likely to become homeowners than those…
The long‐term consequences of early school absences for educational attainment and labour market outcomes
School absences can negatively impact a child's schooling, including the loss of teacher‐led lessons, peer interactions, and, ultimately, academic achievement. However, little is known about the long‐term consequences of school absences for overall educational attainment and labour market outcomes. In this paper, we used data from the 1970 British Cohort Study to examine long‐term associations between school absences in late childhood and individ…
Does Family Structure Account for Child Achievement Gaps by Parental Education? Findings for England, France, Germany and the United States
This paper explores the role of family trajectories during childhood in explaining inequalities by maternal education in children's math and reading skills using harmonized, longitudinal, and nationally representative surveys, which follow children over the course of primary and lower secondary school in four high-income countries (England, France, Germany, and the United States). As single parenthood and family transitions are more likely among …
The relevance of tracking and social school composition for growing achievement gaps by parental education in lower secondary school
There is substantial variation in the degree of social stratification in students' achievement across countries. However, most research is based on cross-sectional data. In this study, we evaluate the importance of social origin, namely, parents' education, for achievement inequalities during lower secondary school using recent longitudinal microdata form the French Direction de l'Evaluation de la Prospective et de la Performance panel, the Germa…
Misconceptions of earnings and their consequences for social stratification in vocational aspirations and attainment
This paper makes two contributions to the literature on social stratification in vocational attainment. First, we evaluate whether labour market literacy, as measured by knowledge about earnings in different occupations, is socially stratified. Second, we analyse whether differences in expected earnings between high-income and low-income occupations contribute to the social stratification in vocational aspirations and attainment using serial medi…
Why Net Worth Misrepresents Wealth Effects and What to Do About It
Wealth plays an important role in social stratification but the results that can be obtained when analyzing wealth as a predictor variable depend on modeling decisions. Although wealth consists of multiple components it is often operationalized as net worth. Moreover, wealth effects are likely non-linear, but the functional form is often unknown. To overcome these problems, we propose to 1) split up net worth into gross wealth and debt and evalua…
Wealth Stratification and the Insurance Function of Wealth
This thematic issue examines the insurance function as a mechanism to underlie wealth effects on various outcomes. The articles in this issue shed an innovative light on the insurance function of wealth concerning a range of topics relevant to social stratification and social policy researchers. This editorial provides an overview of the contributions of this thematic issue and highlights some gaps and remaining open questions. Altogether, the co…
Geschwisterunterschiede im Privatschulbesuch und Einkommenseffekte zwischen und innerhalb von Haushalten
Trotz des Sonderungsverbotes zeigt sich in vielen Studien ein deutlicher Zusammenhang zwischen dem Haushaltseinkommen und dem Besuch privater Schulen. Unklar bleibt jedoch, ob dieser Zusammenhang durch unbeobachtete Heterogenität zwischen Haushalten oder durch einen kausalen Einkommenseffekt zustande kommt. In dieser Arbeit untersuchen wir Geschwisterunterschiede im Privatschulbesuch und inwiefern diese mit Veränderungen des Haushaltseinkommens z…
Social stratification in downgrading during secondary school after ambitious track choices
The role of energy balance related behaviors in socioeconomic inequalities in childhood body mass index
Socioeconomic inequalities in childhood Body Mass Index (BMI) are becoming increasingly more pronounced across the world. Although countries differ in the direction and strength of these inequalities, cross-national comparative research on this topic is rare. This paper draws on harmonized longitudinal cohort data from four wealthy countries-Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US)-to 1) map cross-country diff…
The Role of Parental Wealth in Children's Educational Pathways in Germany
In this article, I evaluate whether educational attainment in Germany is stratified by parental wealth and at which transitions stratification emerges. I propose a four-stage model to capture the emergence of stratification in the German education system, which is characterized by early between-school tracking: (i) transition to the tracked secondary school, (ii) attended track in the last year of mandatory schooling, (iii) highest school-leaving…
