Social Reproduction

Social Reproduction is a term used by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu. Social Reproduction is used to explain that social status is typically passed down from generation to generation. This is caused by kids learning their parents values, beliefs, and knowledge. Typically, children will receive the same amount of education as their parents. Since education plays a huge roll in economic status if you get the same amount of education as your parents you will probably make about as much money as them. If this is what your childhood home and car looks like then it is likely your future home and car will be similar.
