The Impact of Family Resources Management on Child Education Resilience, Continuing Education, Learning Achievement, Character Building, and Young Marriage: A Case Study of Low-Income Families

Abstract

This paper aims to determine the factors that influence the management of family resources in relation to children's educational resilience and its impact. The research was conducted on poor families in 10 villages. The sample used a purposive technique by taking 150 families whose children were studying in elementary school or junior high school. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires, interviews and focus group discussions. Questionnaire data was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques. This research found that the variables of income level, educational aspirations, family motivation, children's interests, and the surrounding environment are resources that have a positive influence on family management regarding children's educational resilience. The strength or weakness of educational resilience has an impact on the continuity of education, academic achievement, character formation, and the habit of marrying young. It is recommended to consider these influencing factors, to help pay for poor children's education, to raise family motivation and children's interest in learning. The involvement of community leaders needs to be increased to encourage children's educational resilience.
