Abstract: Our paper sets a human capital accumulation model with endogenous fertility to examine how demand for school education and private tutoring and fertility are determined. Generally, high-income households choose private school education. However, if the relation between public school education and private tutoring is complementary, then low-income households are unable to choose public school education because of the necessary payments for private tutoring. Instead, they choose private school education to reduce education costs. Given a certain condition, the fertility of households that choose private school education is less than the fertility of households that choose public school education.
