what are the causes and effects of uneducated parent on their children?
Answers
Much research, in recent years, has focused on the link between parental education and
children’s education. More educated parents have, on average, better educated children.
The policy implications of a link between parental education and children’s education are
huge. Increasing education today would lead to an increase in the schooling of the next
generation and, in this way, to an improvement of later life outcomes such as health,
productivity and wealth.
One simple way to measure how the family background is important in determining
children’s educational attainment - which we define as years of schooling - is to observe
how much siblings are likely to study for a similar number of years compared to two
unrelated people in the population. This comparison is informative of the importance of
the family background.
How do parents influence their children’s schooling attainment? Parents transmit some
abilities genetically, they may influence children’s development by stimulating them, and
they may influence children’s decisions. One important channel is parental education: do
more educated parents influence their children’s education “better”?
This paper shows that parents’ education is an important determinant of children’s
education, but hardly an exclusive part of the common family background that influences
the educational attainments of siblings from the same family. Our results based on
Norwegian data indicate that an additional year of either mother’s or father’s education
increases their children’s education by as little as one-tenth of a year. From our analyses
and from previous works, there is evidence that father’s education is more important than
that of mothers in influencing children’s educational attainment. One possible
explanation for a smaller maternal effect is that better educated mothers work more in
paid employment and spend less time interacting with their children.
We test this hypothesis by comparing years of schooling of children of almost-identical
mothers: mothers with the same age, same education, same number and age of children,
and same husband’s level of education but different years of working career when their
children were young (4 and 7 years old). We do not find evidence of any detrimental
effect of time spent in the labor market on children’s years of schooling.
Sometimes parents abuse they also beat children....
Many Children also feel uncomfortable in front of their friends, so they start disliking their parents.
But they don't see love of parent's
