农户教育投资的影响因素分析

通过对2007年2000多份农村入户实证调查研究,讨论了影响农户教育投资期望的因素,得到以下结论：（1）农户对教育的投资决策受到：实际支付能力、投资预期、个体价值观念、投资风险、社会意识形态等多重因素的影响;（2）支付能力可以转化为对教育成本的预期评价。支付能力较高的家庭,乐意承担更高的教育成本,希望子女接受较高水平的教育;（3）教育的投资回报显著地影响着农户对教育的投资,对子女读书评价较高的农户更倾向子女接受更高程度的教育水平;（4）农户的教育投资水平还受到投资风险的影响,农户拥有不同受教育阶段的子女所拥有的风险程度不同;（5）个体的价值观念和社会意识形态共同影响着农户对教育的投资决策,其中个体价值观念对教育投资的影响更大。
