BACKGROUND
Intergenerational social mobility, or the inheritance of status characteristics, is well-studied in Sweden. However, it accounts for just one aspect of the process of intergenerational reproduction of social inequality. The role of socially stratified fertility in this process remains underexplored.

OBJECTIVE
I address the gap in knowledge by replicating the approach pioneered by Skopek and Leopold (2020) in the context of Germany in order to study the relative contributions of the mobility component vis-à-vis the fertility component in the educational reproduction of Swedish cohorts born between 1930 and 1950.

METHODS
The approach involves estimating several components of a stylized population renewal model using retrospective data and performing counterfactual simulations. I utilize data from the Swedish samples of the Generations and Gender Survey, the European Social Survey, and the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe.

RESULTS
My findings for Sweden reveal a relatively strong degree of intergenerational transmission of educational attainment, increasing for men and decreasing for women, coupled with an overall weak but stable educational gradient in fertility. Educational reproduction in Sweden is thus mostly driven by the mobility component.

瑞典的教育复制：使用瑞典数据复制 Skopek 和 Leopold 2020（作者：Vanessa Wittemann）

背景
瑞典对代际社会流动性或身份特征的继承进行了深入研究。然而，它只是社会不平等代际再生产过程的一个方面。社会分层生育率在这一过程中的作用仍未得到充分探索。

目标
我通过在德国的背景下复制 Skopek 和 Leopold（2020 年）开创的方法来解决知识差距，以研究流动性成分相对于生育率成分在瑞典队列教育再生产中的相对贡献出生于 1930 年至 1950 年之间。

方法
该方法涉及使用回顾性数据和执行反事实模拟来估计程式化人口更新模型的几个组成部分。我使用的数据来自世代和性别调查、欧洲社会调查以及欧洲健康、老龄化和退休调查的瑞典样本。

结果
我对瑞典的调查结果显示，教育程度的代际传递程度相对较高，男性增加，女性减少，生育率方面的教育梯度整体较弱但稳定。因此，瑞典的教育再生产主要由流动性部分驱动。
