Research on the Impact of Living with Siblings on Academic Performance of Adolescents
Based on the CEPS baseline survey data,this paper analyzed the impact of living with siblings on adolescent academic performance,and conducted an empirical analysis of their group differences.I find that in the era of large population mobility,the phenomenon of adolescents living differently from their compatriots in China has become more common.The results of the fixed effect model show that living with siblings can significantly improve the academic performance of adolescents.Using the substitution variable method and matching method,it was found that the impact of living with siblings on adolescent academic performance is robust.Cultural capital and social capital are the mediating mechanisms of this influence.Living with siblings improves academic performance by enhancing family cultural capital and social capital.There is no class difference in the impact of living with siblings on the academic performance of adolescents,and children from disadvantaged classes do not have disadvantages.Research shows that the living arrangements between siblings have a significant impact on the educational achievements and social mobility of adolescents,and social policies should be used to promote the overall migration of families.
