Abstract

This article examines the impact of the gender composition of sibships on the investment in human capital made by parents, a variable that is liable to generate undesirable family conflicts between children regarding the allocation of parental resources. Analysis of two statistical sources relating to the determinants of school attainment levels and spending on education in France shows that girls having brothers receive less resources than girls having sisters in rich families, whereas having brothers or sisters is equivalent in the case of boys.
