Résumé
Intergenerational processes in which the socioeconomic status of middle- and upper-class parents is reproduced in their children have been extensively documented by social scientists. We mobilized a unique dataset, the Longitudinal and International Study of Adults (LISA) linked to income data from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), to investigate the relevance of intergenerational socioeconomic reproduction for inequalities in self-rated health in a national sample of Canadians aged 25 to 50. We found strong intergenerational elasticities implicating both parental education and parental family income in the acquisition of both personal education and personal family income. Parental education was not significantly associated with self-rated health. Parental family income was significantly associated with self-rated health among women only, partly explained by the socioeconomic status of the women themselves. These results suggest that intergenerational reproduction plays a small role in the generation of high levels of self-rated health among Canadian women but not among Canadian men. Les processus intergénérationnels dans lesquels le statut socioéconomique des parents de classe moyenne et supérieure est reproduit chez leurs enfants ont été largement documentés par les chercheurs en sciences sociales. Nous avons mobilisé un ensemble de données unique, l'Étude longitudinale et internationale des adultes liée aux données sur le revenu de l'Agence du revenu du Canada, pour étudier la pertinence de la reproduction socioéconomique intergénérationnelle pour les inégalités en matière de santé auto-évaluée dans un échantillon national de Canadiens âgés de 25 à 50 ans. Nous avons trouvé de fortes élasticités intergénérationnelles impliquant à la fois l'éducation des parents et le revenu familial des parents dans l'acquisition de l'éducation personnelle et du revenu familial personnel. L'éducation des parents n'était pas significativement associée à la santé auto-évaluée. Le revenu familial parental était significativement associé à la santé auto-évaluée chez les femmes uniquement, ce qui s'explique en partie par le statut socio-économique des femmes elles-mêmes. Ces résultats suggèrent que la reproduction intergénérationnelle joue un petit rôle dans la génération de niveaux élevés de santé auto-évaluée chez les femmes canadiennes mais pas chez les hommes canadiens.
