According a the master ’ s thesis by Pu Shao-ping, in families with boys and girls, parents take markedly different attitudes toward investing in their children. They are much more willing to cultivate their sons and pay their tuition, whereas parents are more likely to tell girls that want to go to college to take out loans and pay their own way.
根據台大經研所卜少平的碩士論文，在同時有男孩和女孩的家庭裡，父母親對孩子的教育投資存在顯著的性別差異，亦即父母較願意栽培男孩，為其支付學費，而女孩若想上大學，可能就得自行背負就學貸款。
