Abstract:

 While previous research has noted the significant linkages between familial context and the
status aspirations of children, comparatively few have attempted to examine the same associations
with the status attainments of young adults. Using data from the National Education Longitudinal
Study (1988-2000), this study examines the complex nature of familial context as it affects the
educational and occupational outcomes of Asian-American, Hispanic, African-American, and
white young adults. Effects such as parental educational attainment are found across all four
groups, while ethnic group-specific traits, such as the use of another (non-English) language are
more salient predictors among Asian-American and Hispanic young adults. The implications of
these findings are discussed.
