Tóm tắt

 This Element reviews what we know about parental investments and children's human capital in low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs). First, it presents definitions and a simple analytical framework
  then discusses determinants of children's human capital in the form of cognitive skills, socioemotional skills and physical and mental health
  then reviews estimates of impacts of these forms of human capital
  next considers the implications of such estimates for inequality and poverty
  and concludes with a summary suggesting some positive impacts of parental investments on children's human capital in LMICs and a discussion of gaps in the literature pertaining to both data and methodology. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
