Educational Strategies of Population: Intergenerational Mobility Analysis

Education is one of the main factors affecting intergenerational mobility of the population, and therefore it affects the standard of living. Inequality can be inherited, and one of the tasks of the state is to overcome this tendency. We want to check whether parental education affects children's education. The main research method is the construction of ordinal logistic regressions. Work is based on RLMS data. The paper considers the general intergenerational educational mobility and its gender component. In particular, the following gender lines were identified: "mother-daughter", "father-son". The results of the study confirm the dependence of children's education on the education of parents. In addition, we see that being a male, having a birth or living in a rural area will reduce the likelihood of achieving high levels of education. This indicates the need to support the rural population, increasing the availability of education.
