摘要

本研究探讨了祖父母照料对中国儿童学习成绩的影响。利用中国家庭面板研究（CFPS，2010 年和 2014 年）的数据，我们发现有证据表明，祖父母似乎对其学龄孙辈的考试成绩有不利影响，而且这种负面影响主要集中在教育程度较低的祖父母和男孩身上。我们进一步研究了这种负面影响的机制。我们的研究结果表明，养育方式对孙辈的成功起着重要作用，而中国祖辈常见的养育方式会影响儿童的发展。鉴于祖父母照顾孙辈的现象在当今社会非常普遍，而其对儿童学业成绩的负面影响令人担忧，我们的研究结果具有重要的政策含义：父母养育培训有助于减轻非父母照顾者的负面影响。

Are grandparents a good substitute for parents as the primary caregiver? The impact of grandparents on Children's academic performance

This study examines the impacts of caregiving by grandparents on children's academic performance in China. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS 2010 and 2014), we find evidence that grandparents appear to have an adverse effect on the test scores of their school-age grandchildren, and the negative effect is concentrated on grandparents with lower educational attainment and on boys. We further examine the mechanisms of this negative effect. Our results suggest that parenting styles play an important role in the success of grandchildren and the common parenting styles of grandparents in China compromise childhood development. Given that grandparents taking care of grandchild is prevalent nowadays and its negative effect on children's academic performance is worrisome, our results have important policy implication: parenting training could help to mitigate the negative effects of non-parental caregivers.
