Article Synopsis
- Exposure to family risk factors like lower parental socioeconomic status (SES) can hinder adolescents' educational levels, but some still succeed.
- Data from the Dutch TRAILS cohort study found that factors such as effortful control and peer support were not effective in mitigating the negative impacts of low parental SES and family support on education.
- The findings suggest that while higher parental SES leads to better educational outcomes, individual strengths like effortful control may have a positive direct impact, indicating a need for other strategies to address socioeconomic disparities in education.
Introduction: Before coronavirus disease (covid-19), adolescents from a lower socioeconomic status (SES) background tend to have less positive future orientations, receive less parental support, and have a weaker sense of control than adolescents from a higher SES background. The covid-19 pandemic has potentially increased the socioeconomic gaps in positive future orientations, parental support, and sense of control among adolescents who are currently in vocational education. As societies are aiming to return back to precovid norms, certain groups of adolescents might require more attention for ensuring a stable future than others.
