Abstract: . . . importantly parental education and income, on their children;s successful transitions to adulthood (Duncan, Featherman, and Duncan 1972; Hogan 1981; Marini 1978a, 1978b). For example, Sandefur and colleagues (this vol., chap.9) show that parental education and family income are positively associated with the likelihood of pursuing higher education and, in general getting off to a good start in early adulthood. Further, Osgood and colleagues (this vol., chap.10, 345) conclude: "The path on takes, therefore, typically reflects the social-class values and resources of one's natal family."
