| description | Family socioeconomic circumstances directly influence adult education level. Adolescent psychosocial resources and health-promoting behaviour collectively termed as ‘reserve capacity’ and school achievement may likely mediate the effect of family socioeconomic circumstances on adult education level. We tested these relationships using 1985–1995 survey data on 12–18-year-old Finns (N = 41,822) linked with three-generation registry data of Statistics Finland until 2009. Results of the multinomial logistic regression models, adjusted for sex and age at end of follow-up, showed that socioeconomic circumstances of parents and grandparents predicted adult education level. School achievement and reserve capacity dimensions of perceived health, health-promoting behaviour and social support in adolescence also positively predicted adult education. Moreover, these tended to decrease the effect of family socioeconomic circumstances on educational level. Our findings suggest that formulating interventions which build reserve capacity and improve school performance, especially among adolescents from disadvantaged socioeconomic backgrounds, could likely reduce educational inequalities. |
