Research On the Correlation Between Family Capital and The Highest Educational Level of Children——Analysis Based on China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) Data

Abstract

Based on Chinese household tracking survey data, through multiple regression models, this paper studies the connection between family capital and children's highest education level. There is relatively comprehensive research on this topic both domestically and internationally. However, China has proposed a "double reduction" policy. The relevant research under this policy is not perfect. Based on this current situation, the authors conduct this study. There are seven findings in the study. Firstly, family background has a significant positive impact on children's educational qualifications. Secondly, the number of books collected is directly proportional to the length of education a child has received. Thirdly, how many years a child can attend school is influenced significantly and positively by how much money each person in a family earns on average. Fourthly, the length of a child's schooling is significantly impacted negatively by the number of the household population. Fifthly, the father's education years have a considerable favorable impact on the children's schooling. Sixthly, the number of years a mother can attend school also has a considerable favorable impact on the children’s schooling. Seventhly, registration of urban households has a substantial advantageous effect on children's learning years.
