摘要

In view of the frequently diagnosed and increasing correlation between family background and children’s success at school, the question arises as to whether the correlation between truancy and social background has also increased. The research note takes up this question with reference to James Coleman’s capital theory and uses the PISA data (from 2012, 2015, 2018, and 2022) to analyse whether the influence of social background on truancy behaviour has changed over the last 10 years. The empirical analyses point to two things: (1) Absenteeism has increased significantly between 2012 and 2022, and (2) for the year 2022, a significant negative correlation between family background and the risk of truancy was found for the first time—despite other key variables having been controlled for. This continues the trend of social background playing an increasing role in the educational trajectory and school success of adolescents. Furthermore, the data indicate a change in influence after the COVID-19 pandemic.
