A PIDS study found that the educational attainment of mothers influences their sons’ schooling outcomes. Sons of educated working mothers are highly likely to achieve advanced schooling, the highest of which are in Ilocos, CAR, and Caraga and the lowest of which are in MIMAROPA, CALABARZON, and SOCCKSARGEN. Meanwhile, sons of less-educated working mothers are more likely to be delayed in schooling, and this is pronounced in all Visayas regions and some Luzon regions such as MIMAROPA, CALABARZON, and Bicol. These results imply that the contribution of women’s education goes beyond their current generation but extends to rearing future productive citizens.
