The Educational Dilemma of Rural Left-behind Children and the Construction of Care System

Abstract

Left-behind children in rural areas are a special group produced in the process of urbanization in my country. Left-behind children lack parental care in life and education. This article investigates whether left-behind children have an impact on the performance and cognitive abilities of left-behind children, and the magnitude of the influence. The results show that only left-behind children whose mothers go out and whose fathers are at home will have a significant decline in performance; the absence of parents will have a significant negative effect on the children’s cognitive ability. Based on the above education dilemmas for left-behind children, this article proposes to build a care system for left-behind children: on the one hand, the government, market and social forces should be integrated to ensure the effective connection of urban and rural education resources; on the other hand, through the national child welfare policy and local social welfare provision Organically combine to promote the development of left-behind children.
