Socioeconomic Status, Genotype, and the Differential Effects of Parental Separation on Educational Attainment
Prior research has consistently documented a more pronounced negative impact of parental separation on educational attainment among children from families with high socioeconomic status (SES). This study leverages molecular data to investigate how the parental separation penalty on educational attainment varies by SES and children's genetic propensity for education. We replicate the analysis on two distinct datasets, the National Longitudinal Stu…
The development of body mass index from adolescence to adulthood
Body weight in adolescence and adulthood may result from the interplay between individuals' genetic characteristics and the social context in which they grow up, such as family socioeconomic status (SES). However, evidence on the interaction between genetic propensity for high body mass index (BMI) and family SES remains inconclusive. This study investigates whether genetic associations with BMI differ among individuals from high-SES versus low-S…
Center-based formal childcare closes gaps, others may widen them
This short article investigates how childcare arrangements under age three affect early social inequalities in children's competencies using a novel decomposition approach ( Yu and Elwert, 2024 ). This framework comprehensively assesses the relevance of childcare arrangements and the channels through which they influence social disparity levels: unequal exposure (prevalence), heterogeneous effects, and selection (within-group treatment propensity…
Compensating or boosting genetic propensities? Gene-family socioeconomic status interactions by educational outcome selectivity
This study investigates the extent to which the genetic propensity for education - measured using the polygenic index (PGI) for educational attainment – matters more for the final educational attainment of high or low socio-economic status (SES) students. We propose a model integrating social stratification theories, such as the compensatory and boosting advantage models, into sociogenomics, highlighting the role of educational outcome selectivit…
Interaction of family SES with children’s genetic propensity for cognitive and noncognitive skills
This study examines the role of genes and environments in predicting educational outcomes. We test the Scarr-Rowe hypothesis, suggesting that enriched environments enable genetic potential to unfold, and the compensatory advantage hypothesis, proposing that low genetic endowments have less impact on education for children from high socioeconomic status (SES) families. We use a pre-registered design with Netherlands Twin Register data (426 ≤ N ind…
Is early formal childcare an equalizer? How attending childcare and education centres affects children's cognitive and socio-emotional skills in Germany
This study examines the role of formal childcare under the age of three in tackling the early social inequality in children's cognitive and socio-emotional competencies in Germany, by drawing on the new-born sample of the National Educational Panel Study. To this end, we study first whether the access to formal early childhood education and care (ECEC) differs by parents' socio-economic status (SES), by means of logistic regressions. Second, we a…
