Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Johns Hopkins University, 2005.

The objective of this study is to examine parental motivation (investment versus consumption) for gender differentials in human capital investment using the panel data from the first and second Malaysian Family Surveys fielded in 1976--77 and 1988--89. During this period Malaysia's gender gaps in schooling had almost disappeared even for secondary education, except for among rural Chinese and Indians. In mid 70's children are the most commonly expected source of income among all income sources in old age although the magnitude of support varies by income level.

520 $a The objective of this study is to examine parental motivation (investment versus consumption) for gender differentials in human capital investment using the panel data from the first and second Malaysian Family Surveys fielded in 1976--77 and 1988--89. During this period Malaysia's gender gaps in schooling had almost disappeared even for secondary education, except for among rural Chinese and Indians. In mid 70's children are the most commonly expected source of income among all income sources in old age although the magnitude of support varies by income level.
520 $a The investment model, in which parents rely on pecuniary contributions from their adult children, indicates that the rates of return to male schooling are positively associated with sons' education, whereas the rates of return to female schooling are positively associated with daughters' education. It also implies that returns to schooling, transfer rates from children, and work participation rates together determine the gender gap in education. The consumption model, in which parents receive satisfaction from children's non-pecuniary quality services, implies that both sons and daughters attain the same level of education and that labor market conditions are irrelevant to investment in children's education.
520 $a The rates of return to schooling vary more by ethnicity and urban/rural residence than by gender within the same labor market in mid 70's. We examined temporal effects of the rates of return to schooling on the education of both sons and daughters attained in late 80's for the lower and upper income households. The rates of return to schooling have no effect on children's education when ethnicity is controlled for except for (positive) effects of returns to female schooling on the education of daughter for the lower income households. When ethnicity is dropped, the rates of return to male schooling become significantly negative for children's education regardless of sex and income stratum, whereas the rates of return to female schooling become significantly positive for children's education. Labor market conditions have no effect on intrahousehold gender gap with or without ethnicity. The results are largely inconclusive to determine whether the investment or consumption motivation strategy prevailed in Malaysia during this period.
