IASSI Quarterly: Contributions to Indian Social ScienceSummary: This paper aims to assess the intergenerational mobility of educational and employment status using a nationally representative large dataset collected by the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) for the 68th round Employment and Unemployment Survey (EUS) in India. To understand the influence of mother's and father's educational status on their children's education and employment, sons' data has been matched with mother's and father's data for each household. The paper applies multinomial logistic regression analysis to predict the impact of parents' education on their sons' educational and employment status achievements. Father's education level has moderate upward mobility across generations, while mother's education level is having a significantly higher influence on the upward mobility of sons' educational and employment outcomes. Parental education determines children's' educational level and employment status after controlling other factors. Therefore, the study suggests more inclusive educational policies with more generous incentives for less educated households, to encourage their children to send to quality schools to compensate for the lower education level of parents. It is also crucial to emphasize and pay greater attention towards improving female education as mother's education has more intergenerational positive impact on children's education and employment. – Reproduced
