How Housing Property Rights Affects Urban Family Educational Investment
Based on the two explanations of bargaining power within the family and social norms,this study explored the relationship between housing property rights among couples and family educational investment.Using CFPS data,the empirical findings revealed that,women's ownership of housing property promoted an increase in the absolute amount of family educational investment through the mechanisms of female labor participation and household income.Heterogeneity analysis showed that as women's educational levels rose and the gender gap in education narrowed,the impact of housing property rights on household educational investment became stronger.Additionally,this effect was only evident in families having a boy or only one child.Further analysis indicated that,compared to sole female ownership,joint ownership of housing property by couples had a greater impact on household educational investment.
