In this paper, I study the relationship between maternal education and offspring income higher education are more likely to cultivate offspring with higher education. Using 2012 and 2014 China Labor Force Dynamics Survey, I find that one year increase of maternal education is associated with a 1.7% increase in children’s income. In studying the mechanism, I suggest that maternal education improves offspring’s income via improving children’s education. Hence, I conclude that women with a strong individual educational background devote more time and energy to their children. Consequently, their offspring earn a higher income.
Key words: Maternal Education / Income / Individual Education
