igualdad de oportunidades, transición a estudios de postgrado, educación parental, origen social, EspañaResumen
En un contexto de igualdad de oportunidades, el origen social no debería influir en la decisión de continuar los estudios tras el grado. En este estudio mostramos que el nivel educativo de los padres aumenta la probabilidad de cursar un máster en hasta 10 puntos porcentuales y un doctorado en casi 2. Usando el método Karlson-Holm-Breen, se observa que estos efectos no se explican por las características de los estudios previos, sino que reflejan una influencia directa de la educación parental. Entre quienes ya han cursado un máster, el efecto sobre el acceso al doctorado es menor. Esto sugiere que la decisión de seguir con estudios doctorales se toma justo tras el grado, posiblemente debido a que no todos los másteres conducen al doctorado. Para fomentar la igualdad de oportunidades, es clave informar sobre las vías de posgrado desde el grado, especialmente a mujeres y estudiantes de origen no universitario.
