“…The Family Investment Model (FIM) holds that parents with higher socio-economic status have more social capital to promote their children's greater development (Roubinov and Boyce, 2017). Shi et al (2021) showed that only children in rural China are in more unfavorable conditions than non-only children due to low socioeconomic status family contexts and insufficient educational resources. The average cost of raising only children could be higher than for raising non-only children (Chen, 2010).…”

“…In low socio-economic status families, multi-child family structures contribute to sibling resource sharing, and parents may invest more money in children's education (Qian, 2009). By comparison, only children from low socio-economic status families are at greater risk of disadvantageous developmental outcomes-partly because of a lack of cross-age sibling interactions and partly because their parents' investment in education could be limited by the higher costs of raising only children (Shi et al, 2021). Only children might have higher problem behaviors levels than non-only children at the same socio-economic status level, supporting H4b.…”

IntroductionThis study tested a moderated mediation model of child number (CN) and parenting styles (PS) in the relationships between family socioeconomic status (SES) and young children’s problem behaviors (PB).MethodsA sample of 1,101 children (Mage = 4.90 years, SD = 1.07) and their parents participated in this study. Parents reported on PS, SES, and children’s PB.Results and DiscussionThe results show SES was positively related to authoritative parenting and negatively related to authoritarian parenting; problem behaviors were negatively related to authoritative parenting and positively related to authoritarian parenting; authoritative parenting and authoritarian parenting mediated the relationship between SES and PB; and singleton moderated the relationship between SES and PB. The combination of only children and low levels of SES could lead to high PB levels, while the combination of non-only children and high levels of SES could lead to high PB levels. At the same SES, only children had higher PB levels than non-only children.

“…Moreover, compared to fathers, mothers are more likely to allocate family resources to children's education and related expenditures (Yunxia and Xinrong, 2020;Wang and Cheng, 2021;Koster et al, 2022), which can improve their adolescents' academic performance. Additionally, boys are more competitive and sensitive to their environment than girls (Bully et al, 2019;Shi et al, 2021). In a land-lost environment, boys are more affected by the nonlearning-oriented surroundings and their academic performance is lower compared to girls.…”

Introduction: As an exclusive group resulting from land requisition and demolition during the process of urbanization, the education of children belonging to land-loss farming families has received worldwide attention. However, few studies have explored the mechanisms and effects of land loss on adolescents’ academic performance.Method: Using 5,133 family samples in 2014 and 3,810 family samples in 2018 from China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this study employed the PSM-DID and KHB models to explore the impact of land loss on the academic performance of rural adolescents.Results: The findings indicate that compared to non-land-loss families, the academic performances of adolescents in the land-loss families were lower. Additionally, land-loss families have a lower awareness of educational value. This verifies the logical mechanism of “land loss→ family education cognition→ family human capital investment→ adolescents’ academic performance.” Gender differences exist in the negative effects of land loss on adolescents’ academic performance; land loss has a greater impact on boys.Discussion: The government should strengthen the training system for land-loss farmers, improve the social security system and state of female-led families, and focus on boys affected by land loss.

“…(5) Family dependents Students with families with small to moderate family dependents tend to have better academic performance. According to Shi, students who have siblings have a better growth in attitude and discipline and thus have an effect on academic performance [22]. (6) Tuition fee Students who have excellent performance is in the middle class of tuition fee, namely III to VI and BM students.…”

Students who have low levels of academic performance may result in such students having drop out. Various factors influence the level of academic performance of such students. Preventive action would be better to cope with the drop out. This study aims to conduct prediction of students' academic performance at Sebelas Maret University based on three categories of factors namely social, economic, and academic factors. Methods used include, data acquisition stages, data preprocessing, feature selection, classification, and analysis of results. Feature selection uses information gain (IG) and Random Forest (RF) classification algorithms, with 10-fold cross validation. The test results showed an accuracy of 90.7%, such performance outperforms support vector machine (SVM) and Decision Tree (DT) algorithms.
