使用家庭层面的数据回顾大量关于家庭规模对教育结果(入学、入学、完成)的影响的经验性文献，结果喜忧参半。许多研究未能揭示具有统计学意义的联系；那些通常揭示了微小影响的研究。大家庭往往对教育结果有很小的负面影响，特别是对女孩来说，尽管后一种发现在统计上是脆弱的。然而，在家庭规模对教育结果的影响是积极的，以及女孩处于优势的情况下，存在相反的结果，这往往限制了任何强有力的概括。
A review of the large empirical literature using household-level data on the impacts of family size on educational outcomes (enrollment, attendance, completion) reveals mixed results. Many studies fail to uncover statistically significant links; those that do usually reveal small impacts. More often than not large families have a small negative impact on educational outcomes, especially for girls, although the latter finding is fragile statistically. However, the existence of contrary results where the impacts of family size on educational outcomes are positive, and where girls are advantaged, tends to qualify any strong generalizations.
