Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to find the effects of mothers’ schooling on child schooling.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper uses Bangladesh's Household Income and Expenditure Survey (HIES), which is a nationally representative survey. It employs the instrumental variable technique to estimate the intergenerational model.

Findings

Interestingly, the results show that the intergenerational transmission of schooling from mothers is slightly higher than that of fathers in Bangladesh.

Research limitations/implications

Estimating the intergenerational model is challenging due to the endogeneity issue. The methodology used in this paper may help to find similar evidence from other countries.

Practical implications

The findings of the study may help to design and evaluate the educational policies in Bangladesh or a country like Bangladesh. For instance, the results of this paper suggest that the female stipend program (FSP) in Bangladesh is effective for the next generation’s schooling.

Originality/value

This paper is among the first to analyze the effect of mother’s schooling on the child’s schooling, controlling the father’s education and other household characteristics. In addition, it controls for endogeneity bias due to genetic transmission.

母亲就学对下一代就学的影响：孟加拉国的证据

本文采用孟加拉国家庭收入和支出调查（HIES），这是一项具有全国代表性的调查。研究局限/影响由于存在内生性问题，估计代际模型具有挑战性。本文所使用的方法可能有助于从其他国家找到类似的证据。实际意义研究结果可能有助于设计和评估孟加拉国或类似国家的教育政策。例如，本文的研究结果表明，孟加拉国的女性津贴计划（FSP）对下一代的学校教育是有效的。原创性/价值本文是首批分析母亲学校教育对子女学校教育影响的论文之一，同时控制了父亲的教育程度和其他家庭特征。此外，它还控制了遗传传递导致的内生性偏差。同行评议本文的同行评议历史可在以下网址查阅：https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/IJSE-06-2023-0491。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Social Economics publishes original and peer-reviewed theoretical and empirical research in the field of social economics. Its focus is on the examination and analysis of the interaction between economic activity, individuals and communities. Social economics focuses on the relationship between social action and economies, and examines how social and ethical norms influence the behaviour of economic agents. It is inescapably normative and focuses on needs, rather than wants or preferences, and considers the wellbeing of individuals in communities: it accepts the possibility of a common good rather than conceiving of communities as merely aggregates of individual preferences and the problems of economics as coordinating those preferences. Therefore, contributions are invited which analyse and discuss well-being, welfare, the nature of the good society, governance and social policy, social and economic justice, social and individual economic motivation, and the associated normative and ethical implications of these as they express themselves in, for example, issues concerning the environment, labour and work, education, the role of families and women, inequality and poverty, health and human development.
