Existing research recognises that while parents often aspire to be involved in their children’s education, some face barriers that prevent this. Studies situated in the Global North recognise economic constraints as a barrier, presenting a steep gradient whereby the richer households are, the higher their parental involvement levels. This paper analyses the influence of household wealth on parental involvement in low-achieving children's education in a resource-constrained area in rural Uttar Pradesh, India. Based on regression models from a sample of 13,558 households, we corroborate evidence from wealthier contexts: wealthier parents are consistently more likely to be involved in low-achieving children’s learning. This suggests that stakeholders should be aware of the potential influence of household wealth on parental involvement in rural India.

现有研究认识到，尽管父母经常渴望参与子女的教育，但有些父母面临着阻碍这一过程的障碍。位于全球北部的研究认为经济限制是一个障碍，呈现出一个陡峭的梯度，富裕家庭的父母参与程度越高。本文分析了印度北方邦农村地区资源受限地区家庭财富对父母参与低成就儿童教育的影响。基于对13,558户家庭的抽样回归模型，我们证实了较富裕背景下的证据：较富裕的父母总是更有可能参与低成就儿童的学习。
