Relationship between current and parents’ household wealth by skin color. The figure shows the resulting OLS estimates of the relationship between the percentile wealth ranking of adults (y-axis) and the percentile ranking of their parents (x-axis) for three skin tone groups. Based on the regression analysis, three groups were formed, with similar results: white (PERLA 1–3), light and medium brown (PERLA 4–5), and brown and dark brown (PERLA 6–11). Estimates from OLS regressions are reported for each group. Confidence intervals are at the 90 % level. The slopes for the white, brown, and dark brown groups are 0.36 (SE = 0.05), 0.43 (SE = 0.02), and 0.39 (SE = 0.03), respectively.

Relationship between skin color and socioeconomic results. The figure includes various components. Bars in both panels show the average years of schooling (a) and hourly wage (b) by skin color group. Coefficients above the bars were obtained using regression analysis. Five skin tone groups were defined: white (PERLA 1–3), light brown (4), medium brown (5), brown (6), and dark brown (7–11). An estimate was made of yi=α0+δi×∑i=25Skingroup+β×Xi+ε, where yi is either years of schooling or log earnings for individual i; Xi is a vector of characteristics for each individual, including gender, age, age squared, parental ethnicity, cognitive and noncognitive skills, parental wealth, parental education, parenting style in household of origin, stress in the parental home, and an indicator of the presence of both parents while growing up. The group “White” was excluded from the estimation, so results should be estimated relative to it. Estimations are computed using robust standard errors. †p &lt; .10; *p &lt; .05; **p &lt; .01; ***p &lt; .001
