Status Sosial Dan Ekonomi Orang Tua Terhadap Probabilitas Sekolah Anak Pada Perguruan Tinggi Di Kecamatan Tasifeto Barat

Abstract

The quality of human resources is key to a nation's development success, and there is a positive relationship between human resource quality and economic growth. This study focuses on examining the relationships between variables—specifically parental occupation, income, and education, as well as the child's motivation—and the probability of the child pursuing higher education. Primary data were collected from 62 parents and 12th-grade students in the West Tasifeto District. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression and logistic regression were employed as the analytical tools. Simple linear regression analysis revealed no significant relationship between the independent variables (X) and the dependent variable (Y), despite yielding relatively small coefficient values. Similarly, the multiple regression model showed no significant simultaneous relationship; the simultaneous contribution (R-squared) to the dependent variable—the child's motivation to pursue higher education (Y)—was 4.2 percent.
