英文摘要	Many studies have examined whether children's gender influences their educational attainment. However, there are limited studies on both the impact of parents' education on children's education and the educational gender gap in rural China. This paper investigates the impact of parents' education on their children's education from a gender perspective in rural China using comprehensive rural household data. We find that the educational gender gap in rural China has been decreasing over the last several decades. Moreover, the educational gender gap decreases as parents' education increases. Parents' initial educational attainment plays an important role in narrowing the educational gender gap.
