Exploring the Link Between Socioeconomic Status and Educational Attainment: A Longitudinal Analysis

Abstract

This longitudinal study examines the complex interplay between socioeconomic status (SES) and educational attainment over time. Using data from a nationally representative sample, it analyzes how factors such as family income, parental education, and access to resources influence educational outcomes, including school enrollment, grade point average, and college completion rates. The research seeks to understand the mechanisms through which SES shapes educational trajectories and identify potential interventions to mitigate disparities.
