A demographer studies how parental education relates to family formation patterns and children's educational outcomes. In a sample of 3,200 adults aged 30–45, those with a bachelor's degree reported later average age at first birth and lower rates of single-parent households than those without a degree. In parallel, their children showed higher average reading scores in elementary school. The demographer cautions that these associations may reflect differences in economic stability and access to institutional supports rather than innate ability.
How does the demographic pattern most directly support a structural interpretation linking education and family institutions?
