Interview data from a national subsample of fathers & sons (N = 482, including 366 whites & 109 blacks, chosen from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience, are used to examine the extent to which wealth explains the relationship between family background & adult economic status for white & black Ms. Wealth is treated both as a component of family background & as a measure of adult economic status. The findings reveal that parental wealth influences schooling independent of other, social components of family environment. For white Ms, parental wealth has a direct effect on earnings, even controlling for its effect on schooling. Also, for white Ms, parental wealth exerts a direct & stronger effect on son's wealth after controlling for its effects on schooling & earnings. 6 Tables. Modified HA |
