家庭背景与劳动力市场结果之间的联系，是一个引起学术界、社会和政界极大关注的问题。人们经常声称，这种代际联系在英国比在其他国家更强烈。但这是真的吗？我使用了覆盖30多个国家的三个跨国家可比较的数据集，通过估算父母教育与以后一生收入之间的联系来研究这个问题。我的研究结果表明，英国在跨国排名中大致处于中间位置，代际联系明显强于斯堪的纳维亚半岛，但弱于东欧。总的来说，我发现，与其他发达国家相比，家庭背景在英国是经济成功的更大障碍，这种说法得到的支持有限。
The link between family background and labour market outcomes is an issue of great academic, social and political concern. It is frequently claimed that such intergenerational associations are stronger in Britain than in other countries. But is this really true? I investigate this issue by estimating the link between parental education and later lifetime income, using three cross‐nationally comparable data sets covering more than 30 countries. My results suggest that the UK is broadly in the middle of the cross‐country rankings, with intergenerational associations notably stronger than in Scandinavia but weaker than in eastern Europe. Overall, I find limited support for claims that family background is a greater barrier to economic success in Britain than in other parts of the developed world.
