Determinants of Educational Attainments Among Muslims in Kerala : Role of Family Background and Gender
This research investigates how well the following factors; fathers' education, mothers' education, fathers' occupation, parents' income and gender explains the variations in educational attainment of children in the Muslim community in Kerala. The analysis used data from 431 randomly selected Muslim respondents, 231 males and 200 females, aged 25-40 years from 24 election wards of 10 panchayats and one municipality. Respondents aged 25-40 years were selected from the socio-economic caste census 2011 data. A multinomial logistic model is fitted to a dependent variable measuring level of education into four categories. The result showed that all the factors were significantly predicting the educational attainment of children except parental income
