Family structure and child's cognitive development
(resume)
The influences of family size and birth order on
cognitive development in children are analysed.
For this sample of low socio-economic status
families, the above-mentioned factors are
negatively correlated to cognitive development,
more markedly for large families than for
one-child ones; family size effect is greater than
that of birth order. The latter in turn depends on
sibs' gender configuration and on parents'
cognitive and personal characteristics. Mother's
and father's influence on children's cognitive
development characteristics are not equivalent.
