This is not a hunch right? There's so much evidence supporting this. Off the cuff, I can recall the following the studies. In the US, SAT scores correlate with parental wealth; in India, IIT JEE qualification success correlates with parental wealth; there was this story about 'crack babies' here a few mon
ths ago which also cited a long term study showing that kids born in poverty are less likely to complete high-school, college etc.
I'd be interested in studies showing the opposite.
- thaumasiotes 13y agoWell, what do you mean by the opposite? SAT scores negatively correlated with parental wealth? Kids born in poverty more likely to complete college? You can find e.g. that adopted children's income as adults is closely related to their biological parents' adult income, but unrelated to their adoptive parents' adult income.
