A Study on the Outcome Equity of Compulsory Education for Local and Migrant Children and the Financial Input and Expenditure of Family Education
The outcome equity of local-migrant children's compulsory education is related to the social integration of migrant population and the human-centered urbanization process,so it is a topic worthy of in-depth academic research.Based on the data of CEPS,this paper empirically tests the impact of financial investment in education and family education expenditure on the performance of different children's compulsory education results.It is supported that:(1)OLS reveals the negative correlation between financial investment in education,family education expenditure and the academic performance of local migrant children,but there is no obvious evidence that the academic performance of local children is better than that of migrant children,while the robustness test shows that the SUR is more efficient.(2)It is found that the per student financial allocation is conducive to improving the compulsory education performance of migrant children and children from poor families using the heterogeneity analysis of sub sample regression.(3)It is find that local children's academic performance is higher than that of migrant children at each quantile,but the estimated result is not significant.Further using the method of MM decomposition,we find that the inequality of compulsory education outcomes of local migrant children has the distinct characteristics of"ceiling effect".
