Abstract

Several studies in the literature have used the concept of educational resilience as a proxy variable to analyze the equality of opportunity in education. Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether this educational resilience is enough for them to earn the same wages as individuals from advantaged socioeconomic backgrounds. For this reason, the present study takes a pioneering approach to examine the effects of educational resilience on hourly wages. The research uses multilevel hybrid models with data taken from the EU-SILC database for the EU-28 countries. Results show that resilients, on average, cannot achieve the same hourly wage as more advantaged individuals.
