社会主义社会常常强调废除传统的社会阶级。为了实现这一目标，教育机会有时被“积极管理”并分配给受教育程度较低的父母的子女。东欧社会主义统治消亡后，这些模式发生了什么变化？我们研究了东德铁幕落下后教育流动的发展，并比较了东德和西德父母教育背景与中学教育的相关性。根据德国联邦人口普查的数据，我们发现东德的教育流动性低于西德，而且东德统一后教育流动性一直在下降。虽然女孩的教育优势随着时间的推移而下降，但在东德，有很多兄弟姐妹比在西德更具劣势。
Socialist societies often emphasized the abolition of traditional social classes. To achieve this objective, educational opportunities were at times ‘actively managed’ and allocated to children of less educated parents. What happened to these patterns after the demise of socialist rule in Eastern Europe? We study the development of educational mobility after the fall of the iron curtain in East Germany and compare the relevance of parental educational background for secondary schooling in East and West Germany. Based on the data from the German Mikrozensus we find that educational mobility is lower in East than in West Germany and that it has been falling in East Germany after unification. While the educational advantage of girls declined over time, having many siblings presents a more substantial disadvantage in East than in West Germany.
