Do apples really don\u27t fall far from their trees? A note on the effects of mother\u27s intrahousehold autonomy on the children\u27s autonomy and self-perception
This paper analyzes the intergenerational transmission of active participation in household issues. Results indicate that the mother\u27s active participation in the household affects the child\u27s active role in the child\u27s domestic life as well. Mother\u27s endowments upon marriage is a possible transmission mechanism, a result that is consistent with studies claiming that assets brought to marriage affect women\u27s welfare within the household. Findings also indicate that the mother\u27s active role in the household lowers the probability of a child to report a bleak outlook in life. Organized interactions, interactions with family and the quality of friends also play important roles
