摘要
本研究利用2014年、2015年和2016年在中国农村地区进行的大规模抽样调查数据,使用倾向得分匹配和双重差分结合的方法,考察了父母外出对四年级和七年级留守儿童学业表现的影响。研究发现,父母外出一年不利于留守儿童的学业表现,尤其对收入水平较高家庭的留守儿童和四年级的留守儿童有显著的负面影响,父母外出两年对留守儿童的学业表现没有影响。这是由于父母外出导致的负效应立即产生,但父母外出达到一定时长,外出的正效应会抵消负效应。这一结论对指导父母如何利用外出务工资源来提高留守儿童的学业表现有重要意义。
This study investigates the impact of parental labor migration on the academic performance of left-behind children in fourth and seventh grades.Employing survey data collected from rural China in 2014,2015 and 2016,we examine the effect of parental absence on children s academic achievements using Propensity Score Matching and Difference in Difference methods.The results show that children whose parents have been away for one year are significantly disadvantaged in academic scores;and the disadvantages are even more significant for those in the fourth grade and from higher income families.However,there are no significant differences in academic scores between children whose parents have been away over two years and those living with parents.It is possible that the negative effects of parental migration could be offset by the positive effects of migration(i.e.greater income)over time.These findings can be helpful for parents to mobilize resources after migration to improve the academic performance of their left-behind children.
