Does social origin weigh more when a society gets richer? Over-time analysis of social origin's influence on educational attainment in postwar Taiwan. - 158 p.

Adviser: William Parish.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Chicago, 2005.

Inspired by Heyneman-Loxley effect, this dissertation considers a hypothesis in which the importance of family background factors upon educational attainment varies in different social contexts, especially referring to different degrees of economic development. Postwar Taiwan provides a good case study for its being through rapid economic development in a stable social as well as educational structure under political control. This dissertation investigates how family background affected one's opportunity of attending university and whether the family-education association changed over time in Taiwan for birth cohorts born between 1940 and 1980.

520 $a Inspired by Heyneman-Loxley effect, this dissertation considers a hypothesis in which the importance of family background factors upon educational attainment varies in different social contexts, especially referring to different degrees of economic development. Postwar Taiwan provides a good case study for its being through rapid economic development in a stable social as well as educational structure under political control. This dissertation investigates how family background affected one's opportunity of attending university and whether the family-education association changed over time in Taiwan for birth cohorts born between 1940 and 1980.
520 $a The overall analysis of "who goes to college" partly confirms the surmise of an increasingly importance role played by social origin in educational attainment, although the variable of lower-class background exhibits a very different pattern. Major findings include: First, the influence of father's education on one's chance of college attendance remained stable across cohorts. Second, the influence of mother's education and growing up in urban areas (especially in Taipei---the Capital city) upon college attendance significantly increased over time. Third, the gender gap had narrowed rapidly and disappeared for the youngest cohort. Fourth, being a Mainlander had an independent effect, controlling for other family background variable, upon college attendance, though this effect occurred only for those from less-educated background and had been decreasing as time goes by. Fifth, in contrast with the increasing importance of other background variables, the strength of negative lower-class effect significantly attenuated over time.
520 $a The results, generally speaking, support the "persistent inequality" argument and the "Maximally Maintained Inequality" thesis; however, the exceptional pattern of the significantly-mitigated lower-class disadvantage suggests that cultural capital may play a more crucial role than economic resources in the MMI schooling process.
