We apply insights from social reproduction theory to study educational mobility, examining which factors are associated with becoming a first-generation college graduate and not becoming a continuing-generation college graduate. Drawing on data from The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health, we find that students with low educational origins who become first-generation college graduates have parents who possess and pass down high levels of some resources for their educational level and are well equipped to use the resources they receive. Likewise, students with high educational origins who do not become continuing-generation graduates tend to have parents who possess few resources for their education level, pass down few of some resources, and are less well equipped to use the resources they receive. We discuss the implications of our findings for the openness of the American educational system.}, journal={The Sociological Quarterly}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Manzoni, Anna and Streib, Jessi}, year={2023}, month={Apr}, pages={1–21} } @article{manzoni_vidal_2023, title={Parental separation and intergenerational support}, volume={35}, ISSN={2699-2337}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.20377/jfr-809}, DOI={10.20377/jfr-809}, abstractNote={Objective: We investigate support between parents and adult children across families exposed and not exposed to parental separation in Germany, by examining multiple types of support (i.e. emotional, material, and instrumental), both directions of provision (i.e. giving and receiving), and exchanges with mothers and fathers. Background: As parental separation may have implications for parent-child relationships and exchanges, with consequences for individuals' wellbeing, improving our understanding of the association between separation and support exchanges becomes paramount. Method: Using data from the German Family Panel (pairfam, 2009-2016, N=4,340 respondents and 13,481 observations), we estimate a range of support exchanges between parents and children simultaneously using generalized linear regression models with correlated random terms across equations. Additionally, we assess whether these associations vary by the timing at which parental separation occurred and social background. Results: Parental separation is negatively associated with support between parents and children, especially for fathers. However, no significant differences emerge between mothers who separated and mothers who did not in receiving material support from their children. The negative associations between parental separation and support between child and fathers are lower if parental separation occurs when the child is an adult. Further, when mothers are highly educated, separation has a less negative association with downward material support. Conclusion: Overall, lower intergenerational assistance among families experiencing separation suggests increasing disadvantage for those already disadvantaged.}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Family Research}, publisher={Universitatsbibliothek Bamberg}, author={Manzoni, Anna and Vidal, Sergi}, year={2023}, month={Jan}, pages={124–144} } @article{lee_manzoni_2023, title={Pathways of Intergenerational Support between Parents and Children throughout Adulthood}, volume={8}, ISSN={["1533-8673"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1177/07311214231193342}, DOI={10.1177/07311214231193342}, abstractNote={ This paper examines varying patterns of exchanges in financial and residential support between parents and children.

The present study sheds light on the origin-destination link by investigating the intergenerational association between parents’ education and offspring’s earnings, paying attention to parents’ education relative to their children’s. Drawing on large samples and multiple waves of data from the National Survey of College Graduates, this study also makes an empirical contribution by analyzing intergenerational persistence across degree types. For women, I find highest intergenerational persistence at the bachelor level, but little evidence of intergenerational association for any advanced degrees. For men, results show intergenerational persistence across educational groups. Differences across respondents holding different types of degree support a theory of intergenerational relative education advantage, in which the effect of parents’ education on offspring’s attainment varies depending on offspring’s education relative to their parents.

We apply a new dynamic measure that quantifies the quality of binary sequences, distinguishing between “good” (i.e., employment) from “bad” labor force status activities (i.e., unemployment and inactivity). We use longitudinal data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) before the Great Financial Recession over the period 1984–2005 and deploy a series of hybrid models that control for unobserved heterogeneity. We find a non-linear recovery process after unemployment across gender and age groups. That is, after a period of recovery, career quality worsens. Least impacted are men experiencing unemployment when aged between 25–34 years, while men 55–66 have rather stable, though stronger, penalties.

We apply such measure of sequence quality to data from the Household, Income, and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey over the period 2001 to 2013, and model the evolution of employment career quality after the occurrence of an initial spell of unemployment, providing a direct test of unemployment “scarring” theories. We define states of unemployment and inactivity as failures and those of employment as successes to predict whether prior unemployment leads to descending spirals into inactivity and joblessness or whether patterns of full career recovery exist.

Mixed-effects models reveal that the more direct financial transfers youth receive, the higher their occupational status. Yet, indirect financial support parents offer through co-residence shows the opposite pattern. Among youth receiving monetary transfers, college graduates have particularly high occupational status; however, among youth living with their parents, college graduates have the lowest occupational status. Although different types of parental support may equally act as safety nets, their divergent implications for youths' occupational attainment raise concerns about the reproduction and possible intensification of inequality during this developmental stage.}, number={8}, journal={Journal of Youth and Adolescence}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Manzoni, Anna}, year={2018}, month={May}, pages={1580–1594} } @article{wyant_manzoni_mcdonald_2018, title={Social Skill Dimensions and Career Dynamics}, volume={4}, ISSN={2378-0231 2378-0231}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/2378023118768007}, DOI={10.1177/2378023118768007}, abstractNote={All work is social, yet little is known about social skill dimensions or how social skill experiences accumulate across careers.

Using data from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health and Markov models, I examine transitions into and out of the parental home and their association with intergenerational financial transfers. Results show high prevalence of partial independence—that is, not living with parents but receiving financial assistance from them—with significant differences depending on college attendance and socioeconomic status (SES). Attending a four-year college increases the likelihood that youth subsequently live independently without parental financial support, although monetary transfers throughout college weaken the effect. Youth from high SES are more likely to leave the parental home, but typically with financial assistance from their parents; their higher likelihood of continued financial dependence raises concerns of prolonged dependence.

With data from the German Life History Study (GLHS), our primary interest is in the amount and timing of career progression and the ways in which educational attainment, class background, and cohort context shape them. We confirm previous findings of limited career progression and permanence in occupational inequality. Thus, career mobility can correct for initial disadvantages only to a limited degree. We also confirm the strong role played by the standardized and stratified German educational system, which channels workers into specific occupations with strict boundaries. We find a substantial gross effect of class background, which is strongly mediated by educational attainment for women but not for men. We do not find any general indications of a trend in change across cohorts, although there are some weak indications that men who entered the labor market in the problematic 1970s had weaker career growth.

Labour market conditions and institutional public support seem to contribute to explaining the cross-country variation in participation after childbirth.}, number={3}, journal={Work, Employment and Society}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Fouarge, Didier and Manzoni, Anna and Muffels, Ruud and Luijkx, Ruud}, year={2010}, month={Sep}, pages={487–507} } @article{manzoni_vermunt_luijkx_muffels_2010, title={Memory Bias in Retrospectively Collected Employment Careers: A Model-Based Approach to Correct for Measurement Error}, volume={40}, ISSN={0081-1750 1467-9531}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9531.2010.01230.x}, DOI={10.1111/j.1467-9531.2010.01230.x}, abstractNote={ Event history data constitute a valuable source to analyze life courses, although the reliance of such data on autobiographical memory raises many concerns over their reliability. In this paper, we use Swedish survey data to investigate bias in retrospective reports of employment biographies, applying a novel model-based latent Markov method. A descriptive comparison of the biographies as reconstructed by the same respondents at two interviews carried out about 10 years apart reveals that careers appear simpler and less heterogeneous and have fewer elements and episodes when reported at a point long after their occurrence, with a particularly high underreport of unemployment. Using matching techniques, the dissimilarity between the two reconstructions turns out to be unaffected by respondents' sociodemographic characteristics but particularly affected by the occurrence of unemployment spells and career complexity. Using latent Markov models, we assume correlated errors across occasions to determine the measurement error and to obtain a more reliable estimate of the (true) latent state occupied at a particular time point. The results confirm that (correlated) measurement errors lead to simplification and conventionalism. Career complexity makes recall particularly problematic at longer recall distances, whereas unemployment underreporting also happens very close to the interview. However, only a small fraction of respondents make consistent errors over time, while the great majority makes no errors at all. }, number={1}, journal={Sociological Methodology}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Manzoni, Anna and Vermunt, Jeroen K. and Luijkx, Ruud and Muffels, Ruud}, year={2010}, month={Aug}, pages={39–73} } @book{muffels_chung_fouarge_klammer_luijkx_manzoni_thiel_wilthagen_2008, place={Luxembourg}, title={Flexibility and security over the life course}, institution={European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, Office for Official Publications of the European Communities}, author={Muffels, Ruud and Chung, Heejung and Fouarge, Didier and Klammer, Ute and Luijkx, Ruud and Manzoni, Anna and Thiel, Anke and Wilthagen, Tom}, year={2008} } @book{muffels_chung_fouarge_klammer_luijkx_manzoni_thiel_wilthagen_2008, title={Flexibility and security over the life course}, publisher={European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, Office for Official Publications of the European Communities}, author={Muffels, Ruud and Chung, Heejung and Fouarge, Didier and Klammer, Ute and Luijkx, Ruud and Manzoni, Anna and Thiel, Anke and Wilthagen, Tom}, year={2008} } @inbook{benassi_facchini_manzoni_2006, place={Milano}, title={I pensionati lombardi: biografie lavorative e linee di tendenza [Lombard Retirees: work biographies and trends]}, ISBN={9788846477323}, booktitle={Dal lavoro al pensionamento : vissuti, progetti : riflessioni e ricerche}, publisher={FrancoAngeli}, author={Benassi, David and Facchini, Carla and Manzoni, Anna}, editor={Albanese, A. and Facchini, C. and Vitrotti, G.Editors}, year={2006}, pages={17–48} }
