Sammanfattning Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur den lönemässiga avkastningen av utbildning skiljer sig utifrån utbildningsmässig och klassmässig bakgrund. För att analysera detta gjordes multipla linjära regressionsanalyser (OLS) med data från Levnadsnivåundersökningen (LNU) 2010. LNU är intervjustudier gjorde på ett representativt urval av svenska befolkningen. Beroendevariabel i regressionsanalyserna är timlön. Föräldrarnas högsta utbildningsnivå definierar utbildningsbakgrunden. Klassmässig bakgrund definieras utifrån vilken position i SCB:s (Statistiska centralbyrån) socialekonomiska indelning (SEI) föräldrarna har.   Studiens resultat visar i huvudsak 2 resultat. (1) I Sverige tjänar barn till personer som genomgått teoretiskt gymnasium eller universitets-/högskoleexamen mer på att utbilda sig än vad barn till personer vars högsta utbildning är grundskola gör. (2) Barn till egna företagare tjänar mer på att utbilda sig än vad barn till arbetare gör. Detta gör att personer ur privilegierade grupper tjänar mest på att utbilda sig i Sverige. Med detta går studiens resultat mot tidigare studier gjorda i USA. Där tjänar personer ur mindre privilegierade grupper mest på att utbilda sig.   Att Sverige har små löneskillnader påverkar troligtvis resultatet på hur de ekonomiska förtjänsterna av utbildning ser ut. Avkastningen på utbildning för barn till arbetare eller till de med grundskola som högsta utbildning skulle inte bli större med större löneskillnader

The purpose of this study is to examine possible teaching effects in the subject home economics at a school. The study has included one question, which aims to identify if there are any differences in the knowledge between boys and girls in the subject. The theoretical survey is discussing the subject diet and health in school and is emphasising on the different parts that are included in the subject home economics. Further, a historical point of view is given on the development of the subject, and also on Swedish research concerning health and diet. A questionnaire with fixed and open answering options has been constructed and handed out to two different groups of students. One of the groups are students in year 7, who have not yet had education in the subject, the other group are students in year 8 who have had education in the subject. The results show that the effects of education are different between groups that have been educated in the subject and groups that haven’t had any education. The results show further that girls in general have more knowledge in the subject than boys. The results are being discussed and illustrated from different perspectives.
