Abstract
The article presents a theoretical overview of the studies of Russian and foreign researchers aimed at investigating the specifics of the formation and development of children’s human capital. It shows that parent’s preferences are preconditioned by the socio-demographic and socio-psychological characteristics of their parents. There is analyzed the impact of parents’ education, employment status, distribution of time between the paid employment and upbringing children on the development and achievements of children. There are identified specific features of the formation of children’s human capital depending on the household income, family composition and number of children.
Keywords:
human capital, children, parents’ preferences, household income, family composition
