A Finnish study showed that children from families with more highly educated parents have higher chances of becoming more qualified and obtaining better paid jobs, with the fathers educational status prevailing as the explanatory factor. While in infancy, the mothers education better accounts for their childrens outcomes, the educational background of fathers accounted more for the outcomes of children in their early adulthood.
