Anant Pradhan , Department of Social Studies, The PNG University of Technology, New Delhi, IndiaAbstract
"Unveiling Educational Investment Patterns: Understanding Factors Influencing Family Expenditure in India" investigates the complex dynamics shaping family expenditure on education in the Indian context. This study explores the multifaceted factors influencing educational investment decisions, including socio-economic status, parental education level, household size, regional disparities, and access to educational infrastructure. Using a combination of quantitative analysis and qualitative insights, the research provides a nuanced understanding of the determinants driving variations in educational spending across different demographic groups and geographical regions in India. By unraveling these factors, policymakers and stakeholders can formulate targeted interventions to enhance educational access and affordability, thereby fostering equitable opportunities for all segments of society.
