摘　　要：儿童健康事关中国人口高质量发展。基于2010—2020年中国家庭追踪调查,以1999年大学扩招的实施作为准自然实验,识别父代高等教育获得与子代健康水平的因果关系。研究发现,父代教育程度的增加提高了子代的健康水平,且有助于儿童的心理健康。异质性分析结果显示,父代教育水平对男性儿童、城镇儿童与低龄儿童健康影响的积极效应更大。作用机制分析显示,父代教育水平不仅改善了子代出生时的健康禀赋,而且提高了家庭资源的获取能力,有益于子代健康水平。为改善儿童健康状况,政府部门可以不断完善我国教育政策,重视父母教育状况在儿童健康中发挥的积极作用。Children's health is related to the high-quality development of population in China.Based on the 2010-2020 Chinese Household Tracking Survey,using the implementation of the 1999 university expansion,a quasi-natural experiment was conducted to identify the causal relationship between paternal higher education attainment and children's health,It is found that increased paternal education improves the health level of the offspring and contributes to children's mental health.Heterogeneity analyses showed that the positive effect of paternal education was greater on the health of male children,urban children and younger children.The analysis of action mechanism shows that the level of paternal education not only improves the health endowment of the offspring at birth,but also improves the ability of the family to access resources,being beneficial to the health level of the offspring.In order to improve children's health,governmental departments can continuously improve China's education policy and emphasize the positive role played by parents'education status in children's health.
