“…This result is in line with research on other transition states that consistently finds increasing social inequalities posttransition (Beblo and Lauer 2004;Bukodi and Goldthorpe 2010;Gerber 2000;Hazans et al 2008;Hertz et al 2009;Mateju et al 2003;Varga 2006). Students with highly educated parents benefited disproportionately from the expansion of secondary education, and the changes in the educational decision-making process and tracking age, when compared to students with less educated parents.…”

Diversity in education systems, and broader political and economic conditions, are commonly credited with international variations in inequality of educational opportunity (IEO). Comparing East and West Germany before reunification allows us to investigate whether vastly different political, economic and educational systems led to differences in IEO. Postreunification, East Germany adopted the West's systems and experienced an economic recession. IEO had been smaller in East than in West Germany but was on an upward trajectory before reunification. After 1990, IEO in East Germany converged to the West German level as a result of decreased IEO in the West and increasing levels in the East. Postreunification convergence suggests differences in political context and education policy are crucial for IEO.

“…The authors see funding problems together with rising income inequality at the origin of the increasingly elitist character of Czech higher education. Hazans et al (2008) find that the impact of paternal education and income increased during transition in the Baltics. Thus, after a general increase in educational mobility in Eastern Europe up through the 1980s (Ganzeboom and Nieuwbeerta, 1999) the post-socialist transformation appears to have reversed the trend.…”

“…A study of the three Baltic countries by Hazans et al (2008) finds that parental education is an important factor on the propensity to earn a university degree both in Soviet times and during transition. Concordant with this line of literature, Gerber and Hout (2004) look at the occupational mobility in Russia before and after the Soviet era.…”

We investigate long-term trends in the intergenerational transmission of education in a low income country undergoing a transition from socialism to a market economy. We draw on evidence from Kyrgyzstan using data from three household surveys collected in 1993, 1998 and 2011. We find that Kyrgyzstan, like Eastern European middle income transition economies, generally maintained high educational mobility, comparable to the levels during Soviet times. However, we find that the younger cohorts, who were exposed to the transition during their school years, experienced a rapid decline in educational mobility. We also document that gender differences in schooling and educational mobility, found among older-aged individuals, disappeared in the younger population. Terms of use: Documents in
