| Sumario: | The information base of empirical research in the field of inequality of opportunity is discussed. It is shown that the information base is incomplete since many circumstances and efforts remain unobserved, creating an underestimation. The role of family background is studied, including such factors as the integrity of the parental family, the number of siblings, and the psychological atmosphere in the parental family. It is found that the factor of family integrity has a significant impact on estimates for inequality of opportunity. |
