This paper aims to consider the effect of gender and birth order on the educational strategy adopted by their family. Although the family is the first agent of socialization for children, the family does not socialize all children equally.
My colleague and I surveyed 1, 853 parents in Niigata, Tokyo, Fukuoka and Nagasaki in 2002. In this paper I use the data from parents of 4-year-old children, parents of 2nd grade students and parents of 5th grade students. I analyze the effects of gender and birth order on the educational strategy of parents. It is my finding that eldest children received more investment by their parents than younger ones. Eldest sons receive particularly high investment and are also most expected to undertake gendered roles in modern society.
