Parental education and older workers' income : A comparison of social democratic and conservative welfare regimes.
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThis study examines whether parental education is related to income among older workers and whether this association varies across welfare regimes. While education is often viewed as a social equalizer, family background may still influence economic outcomes in later life. The study explores how societal contexts moderate inequalities related to family origins.
objective(1) Is parental education related to income among older workers, after accounting for job and sociodemographic characteristics? (2) Does this relationship differ between social democratic and conservative welfare regimes?
methodsUsing wave 9 (2021/2022) of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), the analysis focuses on individuals aged 50-65 years from 8 countries, grouped into social democratic (Sweden, Denmark, Finland) and conservative (Austria, Germany, France, Belgium, Luxembourg) regimes. The outcome is annual earnings from (self-)employment and the key predictor is parental education. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regressions were run separately by regime, controlling for job characteristics and sociodemographic covariates.
resultsParental education was unrelated to income in social democratic regimes but middle and high parental education (compared to low parental education) was positively associated with income in conservative regimes.
conclusionInequalities in financial well-being in later life cannot be fully understood without considering intergenerational dynamics and the broader institutional context in which they unfold. Income in later life is shaped by family origin at least in conservative welfare regimes.
