Associations between daily parent–teacher communication, child’s problem behavior, and parent–child relationship mediated by parental self-efficacy
Father's Side or Mother's Side? Lineage-Based Differences in the Impact of Grandparental Resources on Grandchildren's Education in Japan
This study examines the mechanisms through which grandparental resources and advantages increase the opportunities of grandchildren to access college, using longitudinal data from Japan. It also focuses on the heterogeneity in the transmission of grandparental advantages by lineage and gender. Although recent studies of social mobility have increasingly recognized the accumulation of inequality across multiple generations, relatively few studies …
Student loan debt and family formation of youth in Japan
Since the late 1990s, the number of college student loan debtors has increased rapidly in Japan. Despite the uniqueness of Japanese higher education policies in terms of tuition levels and heavy reliance on educational loans rather than grants, few studies have focused on the influence of student loans on adult youths’ lives. This study is the first to provide a detailed analysis of the relationship between student loan debt and youth life events…
Inequalities in Resources for Preschool-Age Children by Parental Education
This paper provides new evidence on inequalities in resources for children age 3–4 by parental education using harmonized data from six advanced industrialized countries—United States, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Netherlands, and Japan—that represent different social welfare regime types. We analyze inequalities in two types of resources for young children—family income, and center-based child care—applying two alternative measures of parent…
Access to and demand for online school education during the Covid-19 pandemic in Japan
The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in school closures worldwide, including in Japan, where remote education at schools is underdeveloped. Using a unique panel dataset collected in May and December 2020, we examine the determinants of access to online education at and outside schools and parents' preference towards at-school online education. We observe that children from more privileged family backgrounds received more at-school as well as outside-sc…
Gender differences in educational outcomes and the effect of family background
There is wide variation in the degree of gender gap in test scores around the world, suggesting the strong influence of institutions, culture and inequality. We present comparative evidence on the gender gap in educational achievement in China, Japan, and the USA, with an emphasis on the gender-specific effect of parental income and education, and the child’s own preferences for study subjects. We used three major national representative longitud…
A comparative analysis of children’s time use and educational achievement
Various forms of empirical evidence suggest that parental socioeconomic status (SES) is strongly related to educational outcomes and many countries attempt to close achievement gaps among children. Parenting practice is one important mechanism through which educational inequality emerges across families with different SES. In this paper, we show that the class gap in children’s time use and academic achievements reflects parenting styles and pare…
The trade‐off between child labour and human capital formation
We investigate the degree to which there is a trade‐off between child labour and human capital formation using time‐log data of children from a Tanzanian household survey. We find that a tradeoff between hours of work and study exists, and hours of work tend to be more affected by social conditions than hours of study. Hours of work are negatively correlated to reading and mathematical skills through the reduction of human capital investment acti…
