Parental Age and Allocation of Resources to Offspring: A Collaborative projectThis is a collaborative project between Lala Carr Steelman (University of South Carolina) and Brian Powell (Indiana University). The major objective of this research is to explore the connection between parental age and the flow of resources to children and, in turn, the educational consequences children experience in this process. Data are from the National Educational Longitudinal Study of 1988, High School and Beyond, and the National Longitudinal Survey of the High School Class of 1972. Little prior research has examined the relationship between parental age and parental investments in children. Our analysis focuses on five questions: (1) What is the form of the relationship between parental age and the allocation of resources to children? (2) How does the inclusion of socio-demographic and familial factors alter the relationship between parental age and the allocation of resources to children? (3) Does the relationship between parental age and allocation of resources to children vary by the sex of the parent? (4) Does the relationship between parental age and allocation of resources to children vary across different family structures and racial groups? (5) Is parental age related to educational and other status outcomes for children and, if so, is the relationship via the allocation of resources? Understanding whether resource allocation is influenced by parental age and distinguishing those resources which are most affected may prove useful in identifying resources that may be fruitfully augmented by other sources in the public and private sectors--such as schools, the community, and the government.

父母年龄和后代资源分配：合作项目这是 Lala Carr Steelman（南卡罗来纳大学）和 Brian Powell（印第安纳大学）之间的合作项目。这项研究的主要目的是探索父母年龄与儿童资源流动之间的联系，以及儿童在这一过程中经历的教育后果。数据来自 1988 年全国教育纵向研究（高中及以后）和 1972 年全国高中班级纵向调查。之前很少有研究探讨父母年龄和父母对孩子的投资之间的关系。我们的分析主要集中在五个问题上：（1）父母年龄与子女资源配置之间的关系是什么形式？ (2) 社会人口和家庭因素的纳入如何改变父母年龄与子女资源分配之间的关系？ (3) 父母年龄与子女资源分配之间的关系是否因父母性别而异？ (4) 不同家庭结构和种族群体中，父母年龄与子女资源分配之间的关系是否存在差异？ (5) 父母年龄与子女的教育和其他地位结果是否相关？如果有，这种关系是否通过资源分配而产生？了解资源分配是否受到父母年龄的影响，并区分受影响最大的资源，可能有助于确定公共和私营部门（例如学校、社区和政府）其他来源可以有效增加的资源。
