Abstract:
Social capital is widely cited as benefiting children’s school performance, but close inspection of existing research yields inconsistent findings. Focusing on intergenerational closure among parents of children in the same school, this article draws from a field experiment to test the effects of social capital on children’s achievement in reading and mathematics. This article adds to a growing literature that raises doubts about the effects of this type of social capital for achievement outcomes among young children.
Keywords:
achievement; elementary school; intergenerational closure; parental educational expectations; social capital
