Is the gender-gap reversal a feedback loop? Demographic factors influencing gender-gap inequalities in tertiary education in European countries
Integrating intercohort changes in the composition of social origin into OED triangle research
This contribution highlights that conventional social mobility research in the sociological sciences is faced with a severe limitation, as it neglects the importance of intercohort changes in the social origin structure. This is illustrated by the example of OED triangle research, in which compositional changes are only partially recognized as important factors for social fluidity. The paper shows that the implications of an intercohort compositi…
Parental Educational Homogamy and Children’s Tertiary Education in Europe
In this paper, we examine (1) whether parental educational homogamy is associated with children’s tertiary educational attainment in different European countries and (2) whether this association is moderated by families’ educational backgrounds. Using data from the European Social Survey and multilevel logistic regression models, we find that parental homogamy is important for children’s tertiary educational attainment. In particular, children of…
How the rise of academic families across cohorts influences sons’ and daughters’ tertiary education in West Germany
In this article, we examine how the rising proportion of academic families across cohorts affects sons’ and daughters’ tertiary educational attainment in the process of educational expansion. Using data from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS), we focus on West Germany and examine whether the upgrading of the educational composition of families across cohorts has particularly contributed to daughters catching up with and even overtaking s…
How do macro‐ and micro‐level changes interact in the emergence of educational outcomes
This article uses data from the National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) to examine how the composition of tertiary degree holders by social origin has changed across cohorts during a period of massive educational expansion. It also investigates how changes in the composition of social origins affect the proportion of downward mobility of children from academic families. The results of the empirical analysis reveal a surprising paradox: On the one…
Changes in Inequality of Educational Opportunity
Social Background and Between-track Mobility in the General Education System in West Germany and in East Germany after German Unification
Dieser Artikel untersucht auf der Basis der Daten des Nationalen Bildungspanels (NEPS) die langfristige Entwicklung der Mobilitätsprozesse zwischen dem akademischen und nicht-akademischen Schulzweig im allgemeinen Schulsystem in Westdeutschland und im wiedervereinigten Ostdeutschland. Die Analysen basieren auf logistischen Regressionen. Es wird ein multidimensionales Herkunftskonzept verwendet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass es heute noch immer mehr…
Educational Expansion and Inequalities in Educational Opportunity
Using data on successive birth cohorts from the German Life History Study and the National Educational Panel Study, we analyse how the process of educational attainment of men and women from different educational origins has changed in the long run. Our results show that educational in-equality is strongly declining at the first transition to upper secondary education across cohorts. However, it is constant or even slightly increasing at the tran…
