  Family background, gender and schooling in Mexico
 
 
Title: Family background, gender and schooling in Mexico
Author: Binder, Melissa
Appeared in: The journal of development studies
Paging: Volume 35 (1998) nr. 2 pages 54-71
Year: 1998-12
Contents: This article is organised around two enquiries concerning the determinants of schooling attainment in Mexico. The first explores the importance of parental schooling for children's educational attainment, which is a near-universal finding in the literature. Even after controlling for usually unobserved family characteristics such as desired schooling, parental schooling continues to exert a strong influence on children's attainment. The second enquiry examines differences in determinants of schooling for boys and girls. Schooling attainment for boys appears to be more sensitive to their number of siblings, household wealth and parent's desired schooling. Girls' schooling depends relatively more on birth order and family structure.
