of education-based assortative mating are likely both a cause and consequence of economic inequality. It’s a cause because children born to two highly educated parents have more resources at their disposal than two children born to less-educated parents, and it’s a consequence because a wide social distance between groups may make them less likely to intermingle.
Most importantly, children born to parents with very disparate levels of educational achievement or from different social classes will carry the emotional burden of that and it will hamper their own progress.

I hope it won’t hamper my daughter’s advancement. I have a PhD and my wife only completed secondary school in Kyrgyzstan. That said my wife is fluently bilingual and numerate. I don’t know about math but my daughter has Kyrgyz and Russian down pretty well at five.

Children who manage to get much highly educated than their parents also have to carry this emotional burden. 😦

Absolutely. This is a barrier that is impossible to break. It’s like the child almost moved to a different planet.
