%X Abstract While empirical studies have observed a robust and positive relationship between parental education and the offspring¡¯s political engagement in some countries, including the USA, little work has examined the mechanisms thought to underpin this relationship. Treating intention to vote in early adolescence as a proxy for political engagement, this study examines the family processes that might indirectly link parental education with adolescents¡¯ intention to vote in our sample of 30 countries. We find that adolescents¡¯ expectations of their own education and political stimulation at home are key factors mediating the link between parental education and adolescents¡¯ intention to vote in most countries, although the exact nature of these indirect relations differs across countries. The intergenerational transmission of participatory advantages may well be a universal phenomenon as well as operate through the same pathway in a range of countries
