“…Residential moves and transfers to different schools have been argued to be disruptive of family events, which can be related to dropping out of school (Alexander, Entwistle and Horsey 1997), especially for younger children (Havemen, Wolfe and Spaulding 1991). Rumberger and Larson (1998) found that American students who had changed schools between the 8 th and 12 th grades -even just one time -were less likely to have completed high school, after controlling for student and family background and educational experiences.…”

Using the 2006 Aboriginal Peoples Survey, this study investigates factors associated with school success (as perceived by parents) among off-reserve Registered Indian children aged 6 to 14 in Canada. Holding other factors constant, Registered Indian children were more likely to be doing well at school if they were living in households with high income, were living in adequately maintained dwellings, or spoke an Aboriginal language at home. Boys and older children, on the other hand, were less likely to be doing well at school, as were children who were living in larger households, experienced food insecurity, or had parents who attended residential school. Mediation analyses revealed that the negative intergenerational effect of parental residential schooling on children's school success was partially attributable to household characteristics or economic status. Indeed, former residential school attendees were found to be more likely to live in households with a lower income, live in larger households, and report that their family had experienced food insecurity. These characteristics were, in turn, found to be negatively associated with children's school success.

“…Une bonne part de la variance de l'absentéisme reste cependant inexpliquée. Au-delà des problèmes de mesure associés à cette variable et de l'effet de facteurs qui ne sont pas repris dans cette étude (Rumberger et Larson, 1998), il se peut qu'un certain nombre d'absences aient un caractère non planifié, imprévu, occasionnel, très difficile à investiguer de façon systématique. De plus, la méthode de recherche utilisée dans cette étude, comme dans la plupart des études disponibles, ne permet aucune conclusion ferme en termes de causalité, puisqu'elle est corréla-tionnelle.…”

Le rôle du contexte scolaire et de la démotivation dans l’absentéisme des élèves

Université catholique de LouvainRésumé -Cette étude porte sur les caractéristiques sociodémographiques et le vécu scolaire des élèves relatives à l'absentéisme. Il s'agit aussi de comparer l'adéquation de trois modèles théoriques de l'absentéisme. Deux cent douze élèves du secondaire ont participé à une étude visant à examiner leurs perceptions du contexte scolaire, leurs orientations motivationnelles, leurs compé-tences perçues, leur sentiment d'aliénation vis-à-vis de l'école et leur absentéisme. Au-delà des différences entre filles et garçons, les caractéristiques sociodémo-graphiques des élèves ne permettent pas suffisamment d'expliquer l'absentéisme. Elles font plutôt ressortir le rôle du sentiment d'aliénation, de même que l'effet du contexte scolaire sur la motivation.

“…In other words, higher rates of marriage and children being raised in two-parent families might produce greater human capital in countries around the globe. For instance, research in the United States indicates that children from intact, married families are more likely to complete a high school diploma and graduate from college, compared to children from intact families (Duncan and Duncan 1969;Kearney and Levine 2017;Rumberger and Larson 1998;Sandefur, McLanahan, and Wojtkiewicz 1992). Moreover, the economist Jonathan Gruber has found that adults who were exposed to higher divorce rates in their state as children have lower levels of educational attainment (Gruber 2004).…”

Unequal Family Lives

Across the Americas and Europe, the family has changed and marriage is in retreat. To answer the question of what is driving these changes and how they impact social and economic inequality, progressives have typically focused on the economic causes of changing family structures, whereas conservatives tend to stress cultural and policy roots. In this illuminating book, an international group of scholars revisit these issues, offering competing and contrasting perspectives from left, center, and right, while also adding a third layer of analysis: namely, the role of gender -changes in women's roles, male employment patterns, and gendered family responsibilities -in driving family change across three continents. Unequal Family Lives: Causes and Consequences in Europe and the Americas adds richness and depth to our understanding of the relationship between family and economics in the United States, Europe, and Latin America.
