Aaron, Rebecca S, "Intergenerational Mobility in Educational Attainment by Gender," Unpublished B.A. thesis, Pennsylvania State University, 1996.
Abstract:
Males and females tend to either match or surpass their parents’ levels of education. Marrying while young does seem to weaken the impact of parents’ education level, while the family income at age 16 does not appear to have much of an effect.
