Citations in the corpus

• Parental education, class and income over early life course and children's achievement (2016, methodology): “For instance, Bukodi and Goldthorpe (2013) found that parental education was the strongest predictor of children’s education in the UK, although parental class and social status mattered as well.”
• Inequalities in home learning and schools’ provision of distance teaching during school closure of COVID-19 lockdown in the UK (2020, background): “…key stages of education, students from working-class families acquire disproportionately lower qualifications and follow less prestigious career routes and enter less prestigious universities than their middleclass peers (Heath & Clifford, 1990; Bukodi & Goldthorpe, 2013; Sullivan et al., 2013).”
• Income Inequality, Intergenerational Mobility, and the Great Gatsby Curve: Is Education the Key? (2015, background): “2 For instance, educated parents not only earn more (“financial resources”), but also have greater social and cultural capital (“nonfinancial resources”); see Bukodi and Goldthorpe (2012).”
• The role of education in intergenerational social mobility: Problems from empirical research in sociology and some theoretical pointers from economics (2014, result): “…challenged (Shavit et al., 2007), and several further studies, measuring social origins in differing ways, have tended to support the ‘persisting inequality’ thesis (see e.g. Barone, 2009 – also for a useful review; Bukodi et al., 2013; Bukodi and Goldthorpe, 2010, 2013; Pfeffer, 2008; Saar, 2010).”
