Influence of Parents' Education Level on Household Human Capital Investment

Increased human capital investment creates more possibilities for personal development. Parents are the main body of human capital investment in the family. How does their education level affect family human capital investment? This article uses CGSS2015 data and uses the OLS regression model and other methods to analyze the relationship between them. The study found that parents' education level will affect family human capital investment by affecting family socioeconomic status perception, which is significantly positively correlated; at the same time, social security can significantly improve family perceived socioeconomic status under the same education level. This means that household human capital investment can be promoted through measures such as increasing investment in civic education, improving talent introduction policies, reforming the income distribution system, and improving the social security system.
