通过大规模的家庭调查，我们调查了小学阶段学习差异的变化情况。即使控制了其他因素，家庭财富和父母受教育程度也导致了学习上的巨大差距，这种差距随着学校成绩的增加而扩大。性别差距也在扩大，尽管只是在最贫穷的人群中。与其他国家相比，年龄过大的地位与早期学习呈正相关，但随着年级的提高，其重要性逐渐消失。虽然这些因素的重要性因州而异，但家庭财富占主导地位。该分析强调了尽早解决与贫困相关的不利因素的重要性，以避免其对学习的影响变得根深蒂固。
Using a large-scale household survey, we investigate how disparities in learning change over the primary school cycle. Even controlling for other factors, household wealth and parental schooling drive sizeable gaps in learning, increasing in magnitude over the school grades. Gender gaps also widen, although only among the poorest. In contrast to other countries, overage status is positively associated with learning early on, but its importance dissipates by later grades. While the importance of factors varies across states, household wealth predominates. The analysis highlights the importance of tackling disadvantage associated with poverty early, to avoid its effects on learning becoming entrenched.
