Resumen
Este estudio analiza los mecanismos de transmisión que contribuyen a la persistencia intergeneracional en la educación. La estrategia empírica se basa en un enfoque de ecuaciones simultáneas para explicar el logro educativo. Se demuestra que tanto las habilidades cognitivas —medidas a través de la inteligencia fluida, evaluada mediante una versión abreviada de las Matrices Progresivas de Raven— como las habilidades socioemocionales —captadas mediante los cinco grandes rasgos de personalidad— son factores igualmente relevantes para determinar el nivel educativo alcanzado, incluso después de controlar por la educación de los padres y la riqueza del hogar. Aunque la riqueza del hogar no tuvo un efecto directo, sí afectó indirectamente a las aptitudes de los niños. Por su parte, la educación de los padres tiene un efecto directo sobre el logro educativo de los hijos, además de un efecto indirecto a través de sus aptitudes. Estos resultados sugieren que tanto la riqueza de los padres como su nivel educativo son catalizadores del desarrollo de las habilidades de sus hijos y, en consecuencia, de su nivel educativo y movilidad social.
