Educational mobility, or the extent to which children’s educational choices are affected by their family origins, is imperative for equality of opportunity and life chances of individuals. However, while previous research has shown that increasing income inequality is associated with reduced income mobility across generations, the relationship to children’s educational mobility and outcomes is understudied. Since disposable income inequality has been increasing in Sweden in the last decades and faster than in other OEC D countries, the previously not studied question is whether prior levels of equality opportunity are at risk for younger generations in Sweden – and whether there are differences between social groups. Hence, since education is central to children’s future life chances and labor market prospects, the project focuses on the implications of increasing disposable income inequality for children’s educational outcomes in Sweden. Finally, the findings are contextualized by studying the trends in income inequality and educational mobility in a Scandinavian-U.S. comparative analysis.
