- Abstract
As the Korean school entry date changed in 2010, from March 1 to January 1, January-born children are older than their peers at school, and December-born children are the youngest. This implies that parents may have incentives to avoid giving birth in December, and a mother who gives birth in this month is likely to be a mother who is not very concerned with her child's education. This study finds that the mothers of December-born children are younger, have lower education level, and have a lower probability of being employed than other mothers. This means that December-born children are more disadvantaged because they are the youngest among their peers and are from families of low socioeconomic backgrounds.
