Mother's Employment Status and Children's Schooling Performance

Data analysis was focused on three dimensions: (1) the effect of mother's cultural capital (education) on her children's school performance, (2) the effect of mother's economic resources (economic income) on her children's school performance, and (3) the effect of mother's supervisory role (housewife/working woman) on her children's school performance.

Besides, this research tried to compare the relative effects on children's school performance between mother and father, based on the three dimensions of above. By using Bivariate Analysis and Logistic Regression Analysis to test the five hypotheses in this research, there were some findings turned out: (1) mother's education (cultural capital) significantly effected on either son's or daughter's school performance, (2) working mother's economic income (economic resources) did not significantly effect on either son's or daughter's school performance, and (3) mother's supervisory role (housewife/working woman) significantly effected on son's school performance, but did not significantly effect on daughter's school performance.
