在整个工业化世界,受过大学教育的父母相对于没有受过大学教育的父母在孩子身上投入更多的时间。然而,父母时间投资的教育梯度的原因还没有得到很好的理解。使用自20世纪70年代以来的24小时日记调查,我们记录了英国教育梯度的倒U形。逐渐而单调地展开的理论不能轻易地解释这种模式。使用一个外生的增加,在上大学的学生人数在20世纪80年代,我们表明,另一种解释的基础上竞争大学的地方可以解释的时间和空间变化的教育梯度。(JELJ13,J24)
Across the industrialized world college‐educated parents invest more time in their children relative to noncollege‐educated parents. Yet, the reason for the education gradient in parental time investments is not well understood. Using 24‐hour diary surveys since the 1970s we document an inverse U‐shape in the education gradient in the United Kingdom. Theories unfolding gradually and monotonically cannot easily explain this pattern. Using an exogenous increase in the number of students going on to university in the 1980s, we show that an alternative explanation based on competition for university places can explain the temporal and spatial variation in the education gradient.
