在获得教育证书、稳定高薪工作、财富和社会经济地位的机会和实现方面的分层给个人和他们所生活的社会都带来了问题。然而，目前尚不清楚的是，重要的童年经历，如家庭结构和转变，在多大程度上决定了成年后的机会路径和最终成就。代际传递的文献表明，家庭结构在后来的成就中几乎没有任何作用，而家庭学者和人口学家发现了更令人信服的证据，即童年时期的家庭结构和过渡对成年期有影响。我们认为，这两种观点都可能确定了选择性过程，有助于解释原生家庭与获得教育、职业和地位的机会差异之间的潜在联系。然后，我们为这些学术传统的未来工作提供建议，以帮助理清家庭结构对成人成就的影响程度，以及选择性是否是任何此类关系的关键解释。
Stratification in opportunities for and attainment of educational credentials, stable and well‐paying jobs, wealth, and socioeconomic status causes problems for both individuals and the societies they live in. It is unclear, however, the extent to which important childhood experiences, such as family structure and transitions, shapes opportunity paths and eventual attainment later in adulthood. The intergenerational transmission literature suggests little if any role of family structure in later attainment, while family scholars and demographers find more compelling evidence that childhood family structures and transitions are influential in adulthood. We argue that both perspectives may be identifying selectivity processes that help explain potential links between families of origin and differences in opportunities to attain education, careers, and status. We then provide suggestions for future work in each of these scholarly traditions to help untangle both the degree to which family structure does or does not affect adult attainment and whether selectivity is the key explanation for any such relationships.
