Breve descrizione dei contenuti:

We apply latent class analysis to the German Family Panel data to identify latent family types and assess the association between various aspects of the home environment and child development. These aspects include family socio-economic background, parenting style, and parental involvement in children’s learning activities. Child development is measured across several dimensions, including schooling outcomes, non-cognitive abilities, psychological well-being, and maintaining a healthy weight. Our findings suggest that a rich socio-economic background appears more strongly associated with schooling performance, social integration, and maintaining a healthy weight than parenting style. In contrast, self-esteem and psychological well-being are more closely related to parenting quality, indicating that good parenting may compensate for the disadvantages of growing up in a poor socio-economic family environment. For most outcomes, additive dynamics between parenting style and socio-economic status correspond to larger development gaps between children from the least and most advantaged families.
