This Element reviews what we know about parental investments and
children's human capital in low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs).
First, it presents definitions and a simple analytical framework;
then discusses determinants of children's human capital in the form
of cognitive skills, socioemotional skills and physical and mental
health; then reviews estimates of impacts of these forms of human
capital; next considers the implications of such estimates for
inequality and poverty; and concludes with a summary suggesting
some positive impacts of parental investments on children's human
capital in LMICs and a discussion of gaps in the literature
pertaining to both data and methodology. This title is also
available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
