Item Restricted Household headship types and the child's educational attainment(2013-04) De Guzman, Angelica Teresa A.; Tan, Maika Charisse W.; Pernia, Ernesto M.We examine whether there is a significant relationship between household headship types (i.e. only a father is present, only a mother is present, or both parents are present) and the child's educational attainment, measured in years of schooling. Analyzing the Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS) data for the years 2004 and 2010 in a regression framework, we find that there is indeed an association between the types of household headship and child's educational attainment. Among the household headship types, female-headed households show the highest degree of association with years of schooling. The educational attainment of the parentis, the number of children in the family, the family's income, and their living environment are all significantly associated with years of schooling as well.
