Parcel, Toby L.; And Others
Work and Occupations: An International Sociological Journal, v23 n4 p461-83 Nov 1996
Analysis of data from 1,067 9- to 12-year olds indicated that the most important determinants of children's reading and math achievement are their personal characteristics (such as gender, race, birth weight, number of siblings) and maternal cognitive ability. Parental work does not have a strong direct effect on achievement. (SK)
