Abstract

This paper investigates empirically the impact of parental education level, family income, scholastic ability, and expectations on earnings and employment on the demand for higher education in the Netherlands. In theory the factors mentioned are important determinants of educational choice. The Wald or distance test is used to discriminate between direct and indirect effects of the parental education level and other background variables on the demand for higher education. We find that family income, ability, and expectations have a direct effect on earnings and employment, while the parental education level exerts indirect effects only.
