This dissertation explores three fundamental factors in child development—neighborhood, school, and family—focusing on how these factors influence equality of opportunity. Across three self-contained chapters, it combines rich administrative data from the Netherlands with innovative survey insights to investigate how the environments children grow up in shape their educational outcomes. From the quality of the neighborhoods children live in and the age at which they enroll in school to how parents allocate resources among siblings, this research uncovers how these elements impact both academic success and the opportunities available to children. The dissertation contributes to a deeper understanding of the forces shaping child development and social mobility.
