This paper aimed to investigate the role of parental education in child disability in China. We used nationally representative data from China's National Sample Survey on Disability, iterated twice, in 1987 and 2006, with data of 764,718 children aged 0-14 years. Logit models were used for statistical analysis. Results showed that the prevalence of child disability was significantly associated with each parent's education. Maternal education was more important than paternal education in child disability in both surveys. The analysis of marginal effect indicated a one-year increase in maternal and paternal schooling led to an average decrease of 0.121% and 0.091% in the probability of child disability in 1987, and 19 years later, these figures had dwindled to 0.091% and 0.072%, respectively.
本文旨在探讨父母教育在中国儿童残疾中的作用。我们使用了中国全国残疾人抽样调查的两次具有代表性的数据，分别是 1987 年和 2006 年，数据涉及 764718 名 0-14 岁的儿童。采用 Logit 模型进行统计分析。结果表明，儿童残疾的患病率与父母双方的教育程度均显著相关。在这两项调查中，母亲的教育比父亲的教育对儿童残疾的影响更为重要。边际效应分析表明，母亲和父亲每增加一年的受教育年限，在 1987 年儿童残疾的概率中平均分别降低 0.121%和 0.091%，而 19 年后，这一数字分别下降至 0.091%和 0.072%。
