| Jul 31, 2018 at 3:54 | comment | added | Nobody | The OP specifically asked students who are second-generation HE - ie, whose parents were first-generation? | |
| Jul 30, 2018 at 14:57 | comment | added | Maarten Buis | No, per the definition of OP: first generation means parents have no HE, second generation means parents have HE, third generation parents and grandparents have HE, etc. So parent without HE guarantees first generation. parents with HE could mean, second, third, etc. generation, but in practice it will almost always be second, with the possible exception of USA where educational expansion happened a bit earlier. | |

| Jul 30, 2018 at 14:22 | comment | added | Nobody | I mean parents receiving HE does not guarantee the parents themselves are the first generation. The OP is asking studies on students who are second-generation HE.Parental education is not sufficient for that info. | |
| Jul 30, 2018 at 14:10 | comment | added | Maarten Buis | In that case, that is in principle true, and that is why I said "not the first generation" instead of "second generation". However, in practice when we go that far back in time there are very few people who got that level of education. Maybe in the USA, where you had a noticeable rise in university enrollment after WWII, but in most other places the big rise in university enrollment started around the '60s. Moreover what is the effect of your grandparents or great grandparents on your education after controlling for your parent's education? | |
| Jul 30, 2018 at 14:08 | comment | added | Maarten Buis | The OP defined first generation as being the first to enter tertiary education, so parents receiving higher education guarantees they are not the first generation. I suspect you mean "Parents receiving high education does not guarantee they are the second generation.", and add one generation to all mentions of generation afterwards. | |
