“…This, however, holds only for unmarried daughters. In contrast, daughters in France, Germany, and Korea receive fewer financial transfers and smaller amounts than sons (Wong, 2013;Leopold and Schneider, 2011;Deindl and Isengard, 2011;Bessière and Gollac, 2023). Furthermore, Leopold and Schneider (2011) for Germany and Bessière and Gollac (2023) for France show that women and men receive different asset types.…”

This study examines how inheritance and gift tax systems in combination with gendered parental transfer behavior strengthen gender wealth inequalities. Gender differences in transfers can be reproduced if men benefit differently than women from tax exemptions. This might happen when men and women receive different types of assets where only some are tax-exempted. To investigate gendered parental transfer behavior and gender differences in tax rates, we draw on German administrative inheritance and gift tax data. Women were less likely than men to receive tax-relevant parental transfers, the value of the transfers were lower, and women and men differed in the asset types they received. Moreover, we identify a gender tax gap of 2% for inheritances and 22% for gifts. Our analyses suggest that men benefit more from tax exemptions on business assets. This study adds the tax system as yet another factor implicated in the reproduction of gender wealth inequalities. (Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality Working Paper)

However, there are many disagreements among the heirs towards the equality of transfer ownership as many cases concerning the validity and the withdrawal of the hibah in court. So the question arises, how the selection of beneficiaries by the grantors for their property. Therefore, the aim of this study is to identify transfer of the land ownership, according to the Land Administrator perspective. This study applies a qualitative approach in which semi-structured interviews with Land Administrator was conducted. The results indicates that parents transfer his/her land to the children as to avoid property is distributed according to the law of inheritance and help their children due to economic constraints.

“…In the traditional patriarchal family system, parents invest a relatively small amount of resources (both inancial and psychological) in daughters, who leave their family of origin, and join the family of her husband (Wong, 2013). Even in East Asian families in which there are no boys, educational investment in daughters is not higher (Lee, 2009).…”

Abstract:The paper focuses on gender-in luenced differences in parents' social, time, economic and emotional investment in their children's education. The study is based on various articles and publications, predominantly from the USA, that could guide the direction for further investigation in the ield. In the Czech Republic, this type of study is still scarce. Current papers focus mostly on in luence of the education system itself, differences in learning abilities or ideas about the future professional path. Needless to say, the subject of in luence of the parental investment on children's educational performance is not investigated. The study shows, especially on the example of the USA, that parents participate more in the education of their daughters, in terms of parental involvement (in some aspects) and inancial transfers. These indings are then compared to the situation in economically similar countries of the South-East Asia, where the traditional patriarchal system of upbringing children is still very strong and in luences the educational aspirations of boy and girl students. The discussed studies and their indings support the claim of gender differentiation in educational support, when it comes not only to inancial transfers or emotional investment, but also the choice of school subjects.
