Description
Summary:This chapter discusses the intergenerational transmission of resources and work values from parents to the offspring. Semi-structured biographical interviews with ten families from Southern Germany revealed the following main transmission mechanisms: role models, parenting style, and social capital.

Parents’ social networks proved to be yet a crucial factor determining the child’s success.
