Using World Values Survey data from 55 countries, this article provides detailed insights into the characteristics of people who place a high value on education – and into the characteristics of those who don’t. It finds that attitudes toward education vary across the following characteristics: educational attainment, income, social class, political position, postmaterialist values, religion, sex, age, ethnicity, marital status, number of children, family values and employment status. Countries’ average GDP per capita affects people’s views of education too. Whereas some results are in line with theoretical expectations and previous empirical research, others are surprising.

谁偏爱教育？世界价值观调查的见解

本文使用来自 55 个国家/地区的世界价值观调查数据，提供了对高度重视教育的人的特征以及不重视教育的人的特征的详细见解。研究发现，对教育的态度因以下特征而异：教育程度、收入、社会阶层、政治地位、后物质主义价值观、宗教、性别、年龄、种族、婚姻状况、子女数量、家庭价值观和就业状况。各国人均GDP也影响着人们对教育的看法。虽然有些结果符合理论预期和先前的实证研究，但其他结果令人惊讶。
