Household education expenditure is an important component of human capital investment in children. In China, the rising child education expenditure and the subsequent financial burden on families have attracted much research and policy attention in the recent years. Using 2007 and 2011 data from the Urban Household Education Surveys, our empirical study provides new evidence on the education expenditure level, ratio of expenditure to household income, and inequality in this expenditure. We also elucidate changes in China's household education expenditure and explore factors associated with such changes. From the analysis, we obtain the following findings. First, education expenditure incurred outside the school significantly contributes to increasing household education expenditure. Second, compulsory education programs are effective in curbing in-school education expenditure; however, it does not prevent the rapidly increasing education investment outside school. Third, education expenditure disproportionally increases with family income. In other words, a larger share of the income earned by lower income families is spent on children's education, compared to higher income families.

“…Another factor that is thought to influence the achievement of one's education is the family's economic condition where the individual lives. Income received by the household is a supporting capacity for individuals to study (Yang et al, 2014). However, to reduce the level of measurement errors in household income, the authors use household expenditure for one year to represent the family's economic condition.…”

“…Educational attainment is the highest level of formal education completed by individuals (UNESCO, 2010). Existing studies find various factors affecting individual educational attainment, including individual characteristics, family characteristics, and environmental characteristics (Tansel, 2002;Mendoza, 2018;Yang et al, 2014). Individual characteristics that are thought to influence educational outcomes include a person's health conditions.…”

Asthma and Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) is one of the mostchronic respiratory diseases children suffer. According to the GlobalInitiative for Asthma (GINA) in 2018, the prevalence rate ofasthma is between 1-18 percent of the total population in eachcountry. This study aims to analyze the effect of childhood-asthmaand ARI history on educational attainment. We use data fromIndonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 1993 and 2014. TheOrdinary Least Square (OLS) regression method was used to assessthat effect. The results indicate childhood-asthma and ARI historydo not affect a person’s educational attainment in adulthood.How to Cite:Widodo, Shelby D., & Azis, Muhammad K., (2022).

“…In China, 40.42% of Chinese total population lives in rural areas [17]. China's rural schooling levels have improved signi cantly in recent years, and rural education policies have also been reformed simultaneously, but there is still a large gap in educational attainment between China's urban and rural populations [18,19]. Only half of junior high graduates can attend senior high school in poor rural areas, in contrast to well over 90% of students in large cities in China [20].…”

Background: Educational inequalities have been found in adverse pregnancy outcomes, but no previous study has investigated in China. This study examined the patterns of educational inequalities in the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes in rural China and examined the mediations of birthweight and gestational age in the stillbirth and neonatal mortality. Methods: The study population consisted of 217,070 registered pregnancies in Yunnan Province during 2010–2018. Logistic regression models were performed on the association studies between education and adverse pregnancy outcomes including stillbirth, neonatal mortality, preterm birth (PTB), and low birth weight (LBW). The subgroup analysis by ethnicity was further carried out. Results: Compared to women with mid education, least educated women had a significantly increased risk of stillbirth (Adjusted OR (AOR) 1.36 [95%CI 1.19–1.56]), neonatal mortality (AOR 1.55 [1.29–1.87]), PTB (AOR 1.10 [1.04–1.16]), and LBW (AOR 1.30 [1.19–1.41]). Highly educated women showed a similar risk to least educated women in LBW. The magnitude of these associations differed among ethnic groups, among which education had a larger impact on neonatal mortality of Yi women and a smaller impact on stillbirth of Dai women. Low education level lead to stillbirth and neonatal mortality mainly by acting through birthweight. Conclusions: Education had the strongest link to neonatal mortality and the weakest link to PTB. Highly educated women also need concern on LBW. Improving education may reduce adverse pregnancy outcomes especially for Yi women in rural China.
