Food insecurity in pregnancy and intergenerational educational mobility

February 2025 · Ciência & Saúde Coletiva

Food insecurity (FI) results from social deprivation and has consequences across generations. This study aims to evaluate the association between FI and intergenerational educational mobility of pregnant women. This cross-sectional study combines the educational level of women undergoing prenatal care in public primary health care facilities and that of their parents to investigate ... [Show full abstract] intergenerational educational mobility. Poisson’s regression models with robust variance were performed to investigate the relation of FI and intergenerational educational mobility. In total, 602 pregnant women were evaluated. Pregnant women categorized in stable-low education mobility (PR 1.63 95%CI 1.03-2.56), and those who could not inform their fathers’ educational levels (PR 1.66 95%CI 1.08-2.56) were more likely to live in households with FI. Women classified in stable-low (PR 1.70 95%CI 1.13-2.52), or downward educational attainment than their mothers presented higher prevalence of FI (PR 1.72 95%CI 1.12-2.63) compared to those with stable-high intergenerational education mobility. Pregnant women’s education is determinant for breaking the intergenerational cycle of poverty and hunger.

At present, China is in a new normal of population development characterized by low birth rates and a highly aging population, and the trend is increasingly deepening. In this context, this article first classifies the reasons for the low fertility rate through theory and then analyzes the pressure of raising children and taking care of the elderly from the perspective of people during the ... [Show full abstract] fertility window period. Through data and analysis, it has been found that the economic pressure on contemporary young people is particularly concentrated on the education expenditure for children and the dependency ratio for the elderly. Finally, this article proposes some practical solutions, attempting to develop the role of the elderly labor force in intergenerational education through economic policies and social support. These plans can simultaneously utilize the two demographic characteristics of China's low fertility rate and high aging population, and accelerate the improvement of the fertility support system by helping young people obtain intergenerational care.

Intergenerational education mobility in India: nonlinearity and the Great Gatsby Curve

September 2024 · Frontiers in Sociology

Introduction Intergenerational education mobility, which reflects the degree to which an individual’s educational attainment is independent of their parents’ education, is essential for promoting equal opportunities in society. In the context of India, where socio-economic disparities are deeply entrenched, understanding the dynamics of intergenerational mobility is particularly ... [Show full abstract] crucial. Methods This paper examines various aspects of intergenerational education mobility in India using data from the Indian Human Development Survey (IHDS), a nationally representative multi-topic survey. We analyze intergenerational mobility across different age cohorts and investigate the nonlinearities in the transmission of education. Additionally, we explore the impact of educational inequality, economic growth, and public expenditure on education on mobility outcomes. Results Our analysis reveals a high degree of intergenerational persistence in education, although this persistence has decreased over time. Employing quantile regressions, we observe significant nonlinearities in the relationship between fathers’ and sons’ educational outcomes across the educational distribution. In particular, we find a widening mobility gap between historically advantaged subgroups (urban populations, upper castes, Hindus) and disadvantaged groups (rural populations, lower castes, Muslims) at the middle and upper quantiles. Moreover, we confirm the “Higher Inequality leading to Lesser Mobility” nexus, supporting the ‘Great Gatsby Curve’ within the Indian context. Macroeconomic factors, such as economic growth and public expenditure on education, are positively correlated with educational mobility, suggesting that these factors play a critical role in enhancing mobility. Discussion These findings highlight the importance of targeted policy interventions to reduce educational disparities and promote greater intergenerational mobility. The widening mobility gaps between socio-economic and demographic groups emphasize the need for more equitable resource distribution and educational reforms. Future research should explore the multifaceted aspects of intergenerational mobility, incorporating longitudinal studies and regional analyses to deepen our understanding of the underlying mechanisms.
