| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to clarify how family backgrounds affect students' dropping out of high school, while focusing on the sequential change. The main findings are as follows : (1) In the 1956-1975 cohort and the 1976-1985 cohort, those who raised in single-parent families or no-parent families are more likely to drop out of high school than those in two-parent families, after controlling for the educational background of parent and the financial situations of households. (2) Regardless of generation and region, a common feature of families which have high school dropouts is that many parents tended to respect their children's decision-making and thus did not play a role in stopping children when they were about to drop out of high school.
