Project description
This project is a joint Nordic project focusing on the relationships between education, family background and labour market success. The project is comparative and uses large sample registry-data with siblings and family relations from Denmark, Norway, Finland and Sweden. The project is divided into three parts: (i) Income- and schooling-correlations between brothers and sisters in Scandinavia and the USA - an omnibus measure of impact of family background, (ii) A study of industry wage differentials (iii) Family background and the return to education in the Nordic countries. The participants are, besides the two from the Frisch Centre, Anders Björklund, Tor Eriksson, Markus Jännti and Eva Österbacka.
