Abstract
As described in chapter 2.1 intergenerational mobility is a core topic of sociological research (Breen & Jonsson, 2005). The link between social origin and educational attainment plays an essential role in this field because social status in modern societies depends strongly on educational qualifications. Intergenerational downward mobility of students whose parents have tertiary degrees is a particularly interesting case in this respect.
