The article examines the phenomenon of intergenerational educational mobility, which characterizes the strength of the relationship between the level and dynamics of descendants' education and similar indicators of their parents. The authors present the theoretical framework on mechanism of reproduction of inequality in society, detailed by three levels of substantiation: psychological, institutional and objective-economic reproduction of inequality. The authors investigated 2 types of intergenerational mobility: absolute mobility and relative mobility using relevant measures of mobility in economies with different income levels. Three modifications of the Great Gatsby curve were analyzed in terms of the degree of influence of inequality on educational mobility: for low-income economies, dependence on the dynamics of multidimensional poverty was revealed; for economies with a high level of income, the dependence of mobility on inequality in income distribution (through the Gini index) was revealed; for the entire set of countries, the dependence of mobility on inequality in income distribution (through the Gini index) was also revealed.
