摘要

Abstract

Promoting education equity constitutes a crucial aspect in advancing education modernization. This endeavor entails not only narrowing the gap in human capital between children from different families but also addressing disparities within families. Leveraging data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS)

this study investigates the impact of public education expenditure on the allocation of family educational resources

considering gender preference and birth order as key perspectives. Moreover

heterogeneous effects are examined across varying family concepts and learning abilities. The findings reveal that increased public expenditure effectively mitigates the unequal allocation of resources stemming from birth order. However

the impact of gender preference is contingent upon family concepts. Specifically

public expenditure facilitates the improvement of educational disparities between children of different genders in families characterized by more open-minded attitudes. Furthermore

heightened public expenditure further reinforces gender preference in the allocation of family education resources.
