[more ▼] Transitions from education to work are subject to person-related factors and institutional opportunity structures. Life course research increasingly focuses on longitudinal effects of social background on educational and occupational pathways within early and strong school tracking. In this context, Switzerland is a paradoxical case because its education system exhibits elements that should both reinforce and weaken social background effects. We draw on data from a PISA 2000 school-leaver cohort. Employing sequence analysis, optimal matching and longitudinal latent class analysis, we find that persistence tendencies are more pronounced in the academic stratum, compared to vocational and precarious strata. Conversely, the education system and labour market allow for a good integration of weak academic performers. Overall, we show that social background and performance determine selection into tracks, after which effects of opportunity structures take over.

[more ▼] Many studies have examined the effect of life events, education, and income on well-being. Conversely, research concerning well-being as a predictor of life course outcomes is sparse. Diener’s suggestion “to inquire about the effects of well-being on future behavior and success” has, with some exceptions, not yet come to fruition. This article contributes to this body of research. We conceptualize and analyze the interplay between educational achievement, occupational success, and well-being as a complex process. The relationship between these domains is examined drawing on a structure-agency framework derived from Bourdieu and Social Comparison Theory. Social comparison between adolescents and their parents is suggested to be the mechanism explaining the effects of successful and unsuccessful intergenerational transmission of educational achievement and occupational success on well-being. It is further argued that well-being may serve as an individual resource by fostering educational and occupational outcomes. Panel data from the Transition from Education to Employment (TREE) project, a Swiss PISA 2000 follow-up study, was used. The interplay between well-being and successful and unsuccessful intergenerational transfer of educational attainment was analyzed in an autoregressive cross-lagged mixture model framework. Social comparison was found to be related to well-being, while well-being proved to significantly increase the probability of successful intergenerational transfer of educational attainment.

Diese hängen, wie sozialer Status und Beruf, zu einem großen Teil von der sozialen Herkunft ab (Becker und Lauterbach 2004; Blau und Duncan 1967; Bourdieu und Passeron 1971; Breen und Goldthorpe 1997).

[more ▼] Educational attainment is considered the most important contributor to status and occupational achievement in modern societies. Largely dependent on socio-economic background, the transfer of educational attainment from parents to their offspring is likely to have various consequences. Some of these consequences may be of an intra-individual nature. In this article, we explore the consequences of (un)successful intergenerational transfer of educational attainment on wellbeing (self-esteem, positive attitude toward life), drawing primarily on the work of Pierre Bourdieu. We use panel data from the Transition from Education to Employment Project (TREE), and employ longitudinal autoregressive structural equation models. The results show a destabilization of wellbeing over time for the group with downward educational mobility.
