摘要
Many children around the world reside separately from one parent or both parents. Analyzing cross-national student performance and survey data, we investigate whether forms of family separation show distinctive as-sociations with academic performance. Three findings emerge: 1) Students separated from both parents are most academically disadvantaged, while those living separately from mothers are usually more disadvantaged than those living without fathers. 2) In households with co-resident grandparents and in national contexts conducive to multi-generational or extended family co-residence, disadvantages associated with father-absent and dual -parent-absent households attenuate. 3) Academic disadvantages associated with parental absence attenuate as national emigration exceeds immigration.
