“…Yet there are assumptions we encounter anecdotally in our experience with teacher education students (in the UK and Australia), that these parents 'don't care' or they set 'bad examples'. Such anecdotes echo literature that describes teachers' deficit understandings of socioeconomically disadvantaged and 'disengaged' children and young people (Comber and Kamler, 2004;D'Addio, 2007;Machin, 1999).…”

“…Tomes (1979, 1986) focused on two mechanisms through which intergenerational transmission from parents to children takes place: transmission of endowments from parents to children and parental financial investment in their children. Parents' transferable endowments include genetic and cultural traits, cognitive ability and family connections (D'Addio, 2007). Highly educated parents are more likely to have better financial capability, and as a result, they can provide children with monetary support to pursue education.…”

PurposeThis study used data from the General Social Survey (2011) to examine the trends in intergenerational educational mobility in Canada for the 1940–1989 birth cohorts. To this end, the purpose of this study is to focus on the relationship between mothers' education and children's education.Design/methodology/approachThe study estimated intergenerational regression and correlation coefficients and several mobility indices, namely, the Prais–Shorrocks index, immobility index, upward mobility index and downward mobility index.FindingsThe study found considerable gender differences with respect to the trends in these coefficients and indices. The study found that, over the period of study, the correlation coefficient slightly increased for sons while it decreased for daughters. The Prais–Shorrocks index, immobility index, upward mobility index and downward mobility index show that educational mobility has increased for daughters while that of sons has decreased over time. Finally, the relative educational opportunities indicators also suggest a similar result that educational mobility has increased for the daughters while it fell for the sons.Originality/valueA number of studies used Canadian data to examine intergenerational educational mobility. However, no study particularly focused on the relationship between mothers' education and children's education. In recent years, women's labor force participation rate and employment rate increased significantly. Thus, it will be interesting to see how mothers' education is related to children's education in Canada.

“…This partly reflects Austria's low rate of homeownership of around 30% -only Canada, the United States, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands have lower shares. Across countries, more widespread homeownership is associated with a more even wealth distribution (Balestra and Tonkin, 2018 [41]; Causa, Woloszko and Leite, 2019 [42]). Conversely, financial assets, which are generally distributed more unequally, constitute a much larger share of overall gross household assets in Austrian than in other countries.…”
