Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper assesses the effects of mothers' and fathers' education and occupational positions on the educational attainment of male and female offspring based on the data from two national representative samples of Canadians surveyed in 1985 and 1994. The analyses show that, for offspring of both genders, mothers' and fathers' education and occupation have a substantial effect on education, in both surveys. The advantage of social origin for both male and female offspring depends on the measure of social origin with some indication of same-sex effects. Furthermore, social origins have a stronger effect on offspring's university degree attainment than on postsecondary education in general. Finally, there are signs of increasing inequality in social origin effect on offspring's educational attainment. Theoretical and policy implications are discussed.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
