Abstract:An extensive survey data set of Brazilian households is usedto test whether intrahousehold gender bias affects the decisionsof mothers and fathers to send their sons and daughters to workand to school. An intrahousehold allocation model is examinedin which fathers and mothers may affect the education investmentand the child labor participation of their sons and daughtersdifferently because of differences in parental preferences ordifferences in how additional schooling affects sons' and daughters'acquisition of human capital. Brazilian household survey datafor 1998 are used to estimate the impact of each parent's educationon the labor market participation and school attendance of theirsons and daughters. For labor market participation, the father'seducation has a greater negative impact than the mother's educationon the labor status of sons. The father's education also hasa greater impact on sons' labor status than on daughters'. Forschooling decisions, the mother's education has a greater positiveimpact than the father's education on daughters' school attendance,but fathers have a greater positive impact on sons' school attendancethan on daughters'.
