Abstract/Summary
This paper analyzes the effects of grandparents’ and parents’ economic, cultural, and social capital on grandchildren’s educational attainment and occupation. This paper also analyzes how perceptions on education, employment and social development and individuals’ motivations can affect individuals’ educational attainment and occupation. Through random sampling, a total of 379 respondents aged 20-50 years old in selected barangays Burnham-Legarda-Kisad, Dontogan, Liwanag-Loakan and Saint Joseph Village in Baguio City were selected as a sample size for the study. Factor analysis was used to create a perception index that served as an independent variable with other variables (economic, cultural, and social capital of grandparents and parents). Ordered logistic regression and multinomial logistic regression were used to determine the significant
factors that affect grandchildren’s educational attainment and occupation. Results show that non- economic resources such as cultural capital and social capital have more significance compared to
economic resources in grandchildren’s educational attainment and occupation, with mothers’ influence being more significant than fathers’ influence. Perceptions of respondents show that they give more importance to social capital, particularly, the presence of family and friends to qualifications or their education and work. It was found that despite the quality education found in Baguio City, employment is not guaranteed as evidenced by the number of unemployed and the perceptions of respondents. This research is helpful for policy makers in making better policies that is for the welfare of all residents in Baguio City.
