Abstract

Parental socio-economic background plays an important role in determining employment outcomes during the individual’s whole life-cycle. Indeed, the environment in which individuals grow up plays a crucial role in determining their later socio-economic condition, regardless of their own abilities. On the one hand, this link might be due to the transmission of social norms (e.g. work ethics) or risk attitudes from parents to children. On the other hand, public policies may strengthen or weaken cross-generational persistence in the socio-economic status.
