Gender Differences in Land Inheritance and Schooling Investments in the Rural Philippines
研究菲律宾两代农村家庭中父母对子女的土地分配和教育投资偏好,发现老一代中父亲偏好投资儿子教育,母亲偏好给女儿土地;新一代中性别偏好消失,但儿子更可能继承土地,女儿更受教育投资优待。
<i>This paper examines the preferences of parents with respect to the allocation of land and investments in schooling between sons and daughters in two generations of households in the rural Philippines. In the older generation, better-educated fathers prefer to invest in sons’ schooling, while land-owning mothers preferentially bestow land to daughters. While gender preference in relation to parental resources has disappeared in the child generation, sons are preferred with respect to land inheritance, while daughters are treated more favorably in schooling investments.</i>
