Net Worth as an Aspect of Status American Journal of Sociology 83,5 (March 1978): 1204-1223. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2778191 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: University of Chicago Press Keyword(s): Assets; Educational Returns; Family Background and Culture; Family Resources; Socioeconomic Status (SES) This article discusses the role of net worth as a component of status and estimates a status attainment model for net worth. The findings show that: (1) the effect of family background is transmitted via education; (2) the effect of education is asymptotic rather than linear; (3) single and divorced persons possess substantially fewer assets, net of other characteristics, than married persons; and (4) net of all other variables, earnings have a considerable effect on net worth. |
