Abstract

This study presents an in‐depth review of the literature on intergenerational education mobility. The issues regarding consistent estimation of mobility coefficients as well the proposed solutions are elaborately discussed. In the light of the discussions, the strength of the intergenerational schooling association in Turkey is analyzed for father‐son and father‐daughter samples separately using a pooled sample of pairs living in the same household in any of the years between 2003 and 2011. The results suggest large persistence in intergenerational schooling—paternal and maternal correlation coefficients are 0.56 and 0.59 for sons, 0.63 and 0.73 for daughters—regardless of the gender of the child. The large mobility correlations may ask for the government to intervene in breaking the harmful schooling link across generations. To cite this document: Duman, E. (2021).

苹果的排名也不低:土耳其的代际教育流动性
本研究对代际教育流动的文献进行了深入的回顾。详细讨论了迁移系数的一致性估计问题以及提出的解决方案。在讨论的基础上,我们使用2003年至2011年间任何一年生活在同一家庭的夫妇的汇总样本,分别分析了土耳其父子和父女两代人之间学校教育联系的强度。结果表明,无论孩子的性别如何,代际教育的持久性都很大——儿子的父亲和母亲的相关系数分别为0.56和0.59,女儿的相关系数分别为0.63和0.73。巨大的流动性相关性可能要求政府进行干预,以打破有害的跨代教育联系。引用此文件:Duman, E.(2021)。苹果不会跌得太远:土耳其的代际教育流动性。《中国经济研究》第3期:1 - 2。本研究对代际教育流动的文献进行了深入的回顾。详细讨论了迁移系数的一致性估计问题以及提出的解决方案。在讨论的光,在土耳其的代际教育协会的强度分别分析了父子和父女样本。家庭预算调查(2003年至2011年)的汇总横截面用于创建生活在同一家庭的父子对样本。对于这两个样本,估计了三个规格:i)孩子的学校教育对父亲的学校教育进行回归,ii)孩子的学校教育对母亲的学校教育进行回归,iii)孩子的学校教育对父母双方的学校教育进行回归。每个规范包括对可能混淆代际学校教育关联的队列效应的控制。结果表明,与Aydemir和Yazici(2019)发现的国家相关性相比,无论孩子的性别如何,代际教育都会持续存在。赫兹等人(2008)将结果与来自大量国家的流动性相关性进行比较,表明土耳其的教育程度在两代人之间的流动性低于其样本中的大多数国家。女孩样本的持续时间更长,可能反映出父母对孩子上学的态度因性别而不同。由于社会规范和接受教育态度的地区差异,土耳其代际学校教育可能存在较大的地区差异。进一步的工作可能会解决代际教育流动性地区差异的存在和原因,以及代际教育国家持久性的驱动因素。在这项研究中发现的国家相关性可能需要政府通过提供机会平等来干预,打破有害的跨代教育联系。2 .
