Interesting study. Genes influence mostly trough education. After getting education, income and occupational standing were influenced very little by genes. Genes are more important for advantaged families. This makes sense. Children from advantaged families have more choices, so genes matter more. "we find that genetic influences are almost twice as large among the most advantaged families as in the lower parts of the distribution." "the magnitude of genetic influences on education is not linear: It is only the most advantaged group that is clearly different from the others, and the differences between the remaining groups are substantially smaller." >It is important to keep in mind that these estimations are population level parameters and therefore do not refer to individuals (cf. Diewald et al., 2015). For instance, we find that 45% of the difference in education in Finland can be attributed to genetic influences, but this does not mean that 45% of a person’s education is determined by genes.
