Abstract

Abstract This study examines same-sex siblings’ educational mobility using high-quality register data from Norway. The study explores how the educational level of younger siblings varies with the education of parents and firstborn siblings. Younger siblings are generally more likely to attain the same education as the eldest. Even though the distance and direction of educational mobility co-varies between the eldest and younger siblings, the association appears weaker when the firstborn children of highly educated parents only attain compulsory schooling. Furthermore, educational similarity within and across generations is particularly widespread among the families with the least and most educated parents. The study demonstrates how differentials in educational attainment by family background increase when comparing sibling pairs rather than individuals. Accordingly, researchers must also consider family outcomes to understand the stratification that follows intergenerational mobility.

兄弟姐妹的教育流动性与家庭的教育分层

摘要:本研究利用挪威的高质量登记数据考察了同性兄弟姐妹的教育流动性。本研究探讨了弟弟妹妹的受教育程度如何随父母和长子的受教育程度而变化。年幼的兄弟姐妹通常更有可能获得与长子相同的教育。尽管长子和弟弟妹妹之间教育流动的距离和方向是共同变化的，但当受过高等教育的父母的长子只接受义务教育时，这种联系就会减弱。此外，在父母受教育程度最低和最高的家庭中，几代人内部和几代人之间的教育相似性尤其普遍。该研究表明，在比较兄弟姐妹而不是个人时，家庭背景的教育程度差异是如何增加的。因此，研究人员还必须考虑家庭结果，以了解代际流动后的分层。

期刊介绍： British Journal of Sociology of Education is one of the most renowned international scholarly journals in the field. The journal publishes high quality original, theoretically informed analyses of the relationship between education and society, and has an outstanding record of addressing major global debates about the social significance and impact of educational policy, provision, processes and practice in many countries around the world. The journal engages with a diverse range of contemporary and emergent social theories along with a wide range of methodological approaches. Articles investigate the discursive politics of education, social stratification and mobility, the social dimensions of all aspects of pedagogy and the curriculum, and the experiences of all those involved, from the most privileged to the most disadvantaged. The vitality of the journal is sustained by its commitment to offer independent, critical evaluations of the ways in which education interfaces with local, national, regional and global developments, contexts and agendas in all phases of formal and informal education. Contributions are expected to take into account the wide international readership of British Journal of Sociology of Education, and exhibit knowledge of previously published articles in the field. Submissions should be well located within sociological theory, and should not only be rigorous and reflexive methodologically, but also offer original insights to educational problems and or perspectives.
