以往的实证研究并未充分关注成人死亡率（定义为15岁至60岁之间死亡的概率）对各国教育程度差异的影响。我们假设，成人死亡率会对教育程度产生负面影响，因为退休后生存的可能性较低，会阻碍年轻人的人力资本积累。我们利用经合组织国家的跨国面板数据进行了实证分析，其中退休现象更为普遍。我们将结果与非经合组织国家的结果进行了比较。我们发现，成人死亡率对经合组织国家的教育程度有显着的负面影响，但对于非经合组织国家，我们没有发现显着的结果。较低的成人死亡率可以提高老年退休现象普遍的国家的教育程度。实证结果还表明，人均收入和生育率对经合组织国家的教育程度没有显着影响；相反，父母的受教育程度和接受教育的机会影响经合组织和非经合组织国家的受教育程度。
Previous empirical studies have not paid enough attention to the effect of adult mortality rate, which is defined as the probability of dying between the ages of 15 and 60, on differences in educational attainment among countries. We hypothesise that the adult mortality rate negatively affects educational attainment because a lower probability of surviving after retirement discourages human capital accumulation in the youth. We conducted an empirical analysis using cross-country panel data of OECD countries, with a sample in which retirement was more common. We compared the results with those of non-OECD countries. We found that adult mortality rate had a significantly negative effect on educational attainment for OECD countries, but we could not find significant results for non-OECD countries. A lower adult mortality rate could increase educational attainment in countries where retirement at old age is common. The empirical results also showed that income per capita and fertility do not significantly influence educational attainment in OECD countries; rather, parents’ educational attainment and accessibility to education influence educational attainment in OECD and non-OECD countries.
