Role of Family in Educational Attainment and Upward Mobility

Abstract

Given the substantial influence of family dynamics and socioeconomic position on academic achievement, studying the family's involvement in educational attainment and upward mobility is an essential field of study. With a particular emphasis on two primary goals, the study seeks to investigate the complex impact of family influences on educational attainment. The primary goal of the study is to dissect the relationship between parental income, education level, and employment, as well as other aspects of family socioeconomic position, and children's educational possibilities and resources. The second objective is to determine how family support systems, such as parental participation, encouragement, and access to educational resources and assistance, affect academic performance. In light of these goals, the study intends to provide light on the intricate relationship between home life and academic performance, which should guide efforts to ensure that all kids have equal opportunity to get a quality education.
