摘要

关于母亲教育与儿童健康的文献随意地观察到一些非线性关系,也有一个阈值。尽管这种非线性或阈值对教育质量等政策问题具有重要影响,但在文献中没有任何严谨的尝试来解决这个问题。以年龄身高z分数作为长期儿童健康资本的代表,回归结果显示,如果母亲没有继续小学以上的教育,母亲的教育对儿童健康有显着影响。相反,有人认为,初级教育质量差,特别是识字教育质量差是造成这一门槛的原因。报告指出,在提高初等教育质量方面加大公共投资对于最大限度地发挥发展中国家女童教育的非市场成果至关重要。

Is There Any Threshold in the Relationship between Mother's Education and Child Health? Evidence from Nigeria
type="main"> The literature on mother's education and child health casually observes some nonlinearities and also a threshold in the relationship. Even though this nonlinearity or threshold has significant bearing on policy matters such as quality of education, any rigorous attempt to address this issue is missing in the literature. With height for age z-score as a proxy for long-run child health capital, regression results reveal that there are significant effects of mother's education on child health if mothers do not continue past primary school. Rather, poor quality of education at the primary level, especially literacy, is argued to have given rise to this threshold. It indicates that greater public investment in improving quality of education at the primary level is essential for maximizing the nonmarket outcomes of girls’ education in developing countries.
