Parental Gender Stereotypes and Student Wellbeing in China

Shuai Chu, Xiangquan Zeng and Klaus Zimmermann ()

No 717, GLO Discussion Paper Series from Global Labor Organization (GLO)

Abstract: Non-cognitive abilities are supposed to affect student's educational performance, who are challenged by parental expectations and norms. Parental gender stereotypes are shown to strongly decrease student wellbeing in China. Students are strongly more depressed, feeling blue, unhappy, not enjoying life and sad with no male-female differences while parental education does not matter.
