The relationship between number of children in the family and level of educational attainment in the United States is explored. The data are from the Occupational Changes in a Generation 1962 and 1973 surveys and the General Social Survey 1972-1983. The results suggest that for white males the influence of fathers education on sons schooling has been dependent on number of siblings. The impact of changes in family size over time is noted.
