Abstract: This paper aims at evaluating and comparing across European countries the influence of early-life circumstances, like childhood disparities and educational attainments, on incomes in later life. Using life-history data from SHARELIFE, country-specific structural relationships among childhood socioeconomic status, education and incomes at the first and the last job are investigated by means of recursive models, controlling for individual covariates. Poorer childhood socioeconomic conditions are associated with higher differentials in years of full-time education and higher income inequalities. The extent of these results varies across countries.
