Excerpt from Educational Achievement: Its Causes and Effects As part of a larger study of income and welfare in the United States, careful examination of the role of education was undertaken. Since edu cation is known to have a pervasive effect on income, employment, advance ment, and hence economic welfare, it becomes important to know what deter mines how much education an individual gets. Secondly, it is important to know the extent to which education depends upon the parents' education and income, so that low levels of education and income constitute a syndrome which perpetuates itself from generation to generation. The larger study documents the way in which education affects people's economic welfare. This report will concentrate on the factors which affect education, with the exception of an examination of the relation of education to career patterns. The data are based on a single national personal interview survey, representative of the noninstitutional population of the United States. Questions were asked about the education of the spending unit heads, their wives, and their fathers, about the completed education of their children, and plans for the education of children who had not finished school. In addition, we asked some general questions about how much schooling children should get, and about whether more or less govern ment aid to higher education should be forthcoming.
