Parenting and the intergenerational transmission of inequality

Speaker: Dr Jasmin Wertz, University of Edinburgh.

This talk will present research aimed at identifying to what extent parenting contributes to the intergenerational transmission of inequality, through its impact on offspring educational achievement, noncognitive skills, and psychopathology.

An emphasis will be placed on genetically-sensitive research designs, and the insights they can provide about how parenting does (or does not) affect children’s development.

Dr Wertz will also discuss some of my ongoing research about the determinants of parenting, including how parent’s resources and personal characteristics affect the way they parent their children, and the implications this has for policies aiming to reduce social inequalities.
