| dc.description.abstract | Investment on education is said to indirectly help in the alleviation of poverty. Philippines is a developing country that needs to improve the intellectual capacity of the majority if its man power in order to open opportunities for higher future incomes and escape inter-generational poverty. For consistency of data, the authors examined possible factors affecting household spending on education (HHSE) within the household using OLS regression. Variables including income, expenditure, household head's educational attainment and sex, family size and location of the family are tested. Among the variables, household head's sex is the only factor proved to be insignificant. Meanwhile, relationships that are found between these variables and the dependent variables are rather unanticipated. On the whole, the greatest factor affecting HHSE within the household is the educational attainment of household head. | |
