Abstract
This paper examines the preferences of parents with respect to the allocation of land and investments in schooling between sons and daughters in two generations of households in the rural Philippines. In the older generation higher-educated fathers prefer to invest in sons schooling while land-owning mothers preferentially bestow land to daughters. While gender preference in relation to parental resources has disappeared in the child generation sons are preferred with respect to land inheritance while daughters are treated more favorably in schooling investments.
