Abstract | This paper presents the conditions under which a causal interpretation can be given to the association between childhood parental employment and subsequent education of children. In a model in which parental preferences are separable in own consumption and children's well-being, estimation is complicated by endowment heterogeneity and by the fact that parents may compensate or reinforce children's endowments relevant to educational attainment.... We find a negative and significant effect on the child's educational atttainment of the extent of mother's full-time employment when the child was aged 0 - 5. The effects of mother's part-time employment are smaller and less determined but again negative.... These results suggest that a higher full family income increases the educational attainment of children, and given full family income, a higher mother's or father's wage reduces their children's educational attainment.
