家庭照料对儿童学业成就的影响

The Effect of Family Care on Children’s Academic Achievement

本文基于2016年中国家庭追踪调查(CFPS)数据,采用有序Probit模型分析了家庭照料对6~12岁阶段儿童学业成就的影响。研究结果表明:家庭照料的程度与儿童学业成就呈显著正向关系,当控制了儿童的自学能力之后,关系依然成立。对照料类型进行区分,学习照料与心理照料对儿童学业成就的作用同等显著。除此之外,在不同照料形式、不同性别以及城乡之间,家庭照料对学业成就的影响具有明显区别。本文结果表明,父母应该增加与儿童的互动时间,不仅要关注儿童学习习惯培养,也要重视其心理健康发展,以保证儿童的竞争优势,促进人力资本良性发展。

Based on data from the China Family Panel Studies( CFPS) in 2016,this paper investigates the impact of family care on children’ s academic achievement in ages 6 to 12 using an ordered Probit model. Results show that there is a significantly positive association between family care and children’ s academic achievement,even after controlling children’ s self-learning ability.With regard to different types of care,learning care and psychological care are equally significant for children’ s academic achievement. Meanwhile,the impact of family care differs by different forms of care,gender,and between urban and rural areas. The study concludes that parents should extend their interaction time with children and pay more attention to the development of children’ s learning habits and mental health,so as to improve children’ s competitiveness and promote the formation of human capital.
