出身家庭是影响一个人的教育和职业成就的重要因素。社会学家一次又一次地表明，地位较高的儿童可以获得更高的教育水平和更高的职业地位。到目前为止，这些研究人员一直侧重于比较容易衡量的父母社会经济地位指标，以代表家庭的影响。然而，整个家庭的影响要大得多，还包括家庭社会化，父母资源，遗传和兄弟姐妹相互影响的其他方面。在这篇论文中，总的家庭教育和职业成就的影响进行了评估，使用的数据在一个家庭中的一个以上的孩子。采用这种兄弟姐妹分析，就有可能估计不同国家和不同群组的家庭总体影响的差异。背景特征，如社会的现代化水平及其政治制度，被用来解释这种变异性。此外，作者采用兄弟姐妹分析来评估教育程度对职业地位和社会取向的无偏影响。由于一个人的教育、职业和取向都受到家庭背景的影响，因此有必要尽可能全面地控制这些家庭影响。通过控制整个家庭的影响，可以得到学校教育的纯粹效果。事实证明，受教育程度对社会取向的影响比人们普遍认为的要小得多
The family of origin is an important factor influencing someone's educational and occupational attainment. Sociologists have shown over and over again that children of higher status backgrounds reach higher levels of schooling and higher occupational positions. So far, these researchers have focused on relatively easily measurable indicators of parents' socio-economic position to represent the impact of the family. However, total family impact is much larger and also includes other aspects of family socialization, parental resources, genetic inheritance, and reciprocal sibling influences. In this thesis, total family impact on educational and occupational attainment is assessed by using data on more than one child in a family. Employing such a sibling analysis makes it possible to estimate the variability in total family impact across countries and cohorts. Context characteristics like the level of modernization in a society and its political system are used to explain this variability. In addition, the author employs sibling analysis to assess the unbiased effect of educational attainment on occupational status and on social orientations. Since someone's education, occupation, and orientations are influenced by family background, it is necessary to control for these family influences as completely as possible. By controlling for total family impact, the pure effect of schooling can be obtained. It turns out that the effect of educational attainment on social orientation is much smaller than is generally acknowledged
