流动儿童初中后家庭教育投资决策的实证分析——基于北京的调研数据

Urban Migrant Children Family Education Investment Decision after Junior High School and Its Financial Implications in China

流动儿童在流入地对继续接受更高阶段的教育有客观需求。基于随机抽样调研数据,以Mlogit模型从家庭、个人、学校三个维度对数据进行处理。结果发现:居住在市区的流动儿童相对居住在郊区或农村地区的儿童可以获得更多的教育资源,在公立学校就读的流动儿童家长选择将子女留在北京读书的概率明显高于其他两种类型学校。学杂费越高流动儿童家长选择让子女工作的可能性越大。与以往研究结论认为女童面临更高的失学风险不同,父母在子女初中后的教育决策中更倾向于让男孩去工作,表明在城市地区流动男童面临着更高的教育机会成本。应当尽快建立学籍与生均教育经费拨款相挂钩的上级政府教育转移支付制度,缓解教育资源不均衡状况。

Migrant children have objective needs for high levels of education in the cities they migrate to.This study used Mlogit model to deal with random sampling data from the dimensions of family,children and school.The result shows that migrant children live in the city,compared with those live in the suburbs or rural areas could get more education resources.Migrant children study at public schools were more likely to choose to study in Beijing after junior high school,compared with the other two types of schools.The higher the tuition and service fees,the more likely the parents to choose to let their children go to work after junior high school.Unlike previous research conclusions,this study also found that parents were more inclined to let the boys go to work after junior high school,which indicates that in urban areas migrant boys face higher education opportunity cost than migrant girls.This study puts forward that it is urgent to establish an education transferring payment system at higher government levels which links school registration with per student educational funding distribution so as to alleviate the unbalancing of educational resources.
