Mezigenerační mobilita vysokoškolského vzdělání v České republice mezi lety 2020–2021

This bachelor’s thesis analyses the effect of parental education on the likelihood of attaining college education among their children in the Czech Republic in the years 2020–2021. Using data from the European Social Survey (Wave 10) and logistic regression, the study evaluates how strongly family background shapes educational outcomes, even when controlling for household income, age, gender, and type of residence. The results show that parental education is the strongest determinant of a child’s probability of completing higher education, and this effect remains stable across multiple model specifications. The added value of the thesis lies in distinguishing the separate influence of mothers and fathers education and in testing the robustness of the findings through alternative and sensitivity models. The study contributes to understanding the current level of intergenerational mobility in the Czech Republic and provides empirical evidence that educational inequalities are strongly rooted in family background.
