The study poses the following questions. First, what types of parental economic resources are associated with children’s educational attainment? Second, do impacts of parental economic resources on educational milestones vary by type of educational attainment?: high school drop-out experience, high school completion, college attendance, and college degree attainment. Third, does parental involvement, children’s educational expectations, or children’s self-esteem mediate the effects of parental economic resources on children’s educational attainment?
