In studies on social stratification, ususally the influence of the
mothers' educational and occupational statuses on children's status
attainment is ignored. The father's socioeconomic status is assumed
to hold the dominant position in the household. Today, this
assumption no longer holds. In this book the question is answered
how the mother's education and her occupational status influences
the education and job status of her children. The author shows that
the socioeconomic background of the mother is heavily related to
the educational outcomes of sons and daughters. Regarding the
reproduction of job status, the mother's status resources are
important only for the daughter. Her resources always have been and
still are very important as a source 'advantage' transfers from one
generation to the next. Over time, the influence of both parents
decreases in essentially the same way. The contents of this book
support the assessment of educational and occupational trends in
modern society. This valuable study aids students, researchers and
policy makers concerned with outcomes of social justice, reviewing
key concepts for historical and internationally comparative studies
on social stratification.
