Research On Farmers' Investments On Children's Education

Since2006, the Government has paid tuition and books fees for students from poor families in rural areas and subsidies living expenses for the students, this policy has benefited more than3600million primary and secondary students. However, the problems of children's education of farmers on educational burden employment, employment risk, employment skills, the education gap between urban and rural areas increasingly highlight. On the background of building the New Socialist Countryside, and creating a harmonious society,this research on these issues and solutions become more urgent and necessary. The purpose of this paper used the approach of qualitative and quantitative, and analysis farmers investments in their children's education in the country's only agricultural high-tech demonstration zone-Yang ling. And then try to have a deep research on the intrinsic important factors for farmers' investment on their children's education.This paper analyzed the meaning, nature, the characteristics of the education of farmers' Children.Also analyzed the factors of suppliment and demands of the impact in the investments in their children's education. At the same time,the paper analyzed the shortcomings of operating mechanism and legal farmers investment of their children's education, under the"binary" system of the urban and rural areas, then made law and legal principles of the farmers children's education.With a large number of empirical studies, I think, the concept or attitude of family education has a direct impact on the education investment on their children. Respondents expecting their children to have more income and more ability by learning knowledge accounts for71.62%. The rural residents who treat education as investion have become the majority, reaching65.7%.Farmers have the similar expectation on the successful education of boys and girls. Single-sex families with children have more willing to invest education to achieve their goals in a key point.The higher the educational level of parents, the higher the growth of investment in education. The sustained decline in the Engel's coefficient was mainly due that the growth of education is for the cost of family life through the research on farmers investment in their children's education and family income and expenditure. Study found that the cost of compulsory education throughout the education costs only accounted for7.7%.Non-compulsory education costs of the direct education costs accounted for92.3%. I Believe that the fees level of the high education were beyond the capacity of families,and had a direct impact on the equitable for poor families children to obtain higher education. Emotional investment is a long-term potential, but also an essential investment in family education content, farmers should pay attention to the emotional investment on their children.Through Empirical Analysis of investment income on farmers children education, life-time earnings of higher education workers was more357,977yuan than workers with high school education; the rate of return in their children's education was12.15%. The yield value index for long-life education of farmer children was44.96. Although farmers can not afford to pay their children's education costs, from an economic point of view, the access to higher education through bank loans, is very profitable for families and individuals.The contribution rate to agricultural science and technology is an important indicator to measure of education earnings of the return farmer children. As a result of increased science and technology investment to return farmer children, the contribution rate of Yangling Agricultural Science and Technology in1997goes up from42%to52.01%in2008. Educational investment is the important factor to expect the balance of the proceeds between the national education development goals and income expectations of farmerseducation.As more burden on education investment, and more difficulties of college students employment, the risk of farmers investments in their children's education has increased significantly. Through analyzing the incomplete compensation investment of education, the unequal choice of educational opportunities,the unsufficiency on investment and income of education,the poor students'weak ability to avoid the risk as well as the potential impact on education for poor students, I think carries on the education poverty relief, establishment for the impoverished home education investment safeguard system, the settlement of the impoverished family student's employment problem are the efficient path to solve the education investment of the countryside poor family. The country should formulate educational investment law, increase the educational investments, establish reasonable education charge mechanism, construct the balanced development pattern between the city and countryside education, strengthen the returning farmer laborers children's vocational skill training, solve the problem of farmers investments on their children's education earnestly.
