ABSTRACT

This research aims to identify the effects of household characteristics in household demand for private tutoring function by using the Tobit model. The household characteristics are represented by a number of variables such as household income rate, parents’ educational level, and number of family members. The results show that the demand for private tutoring increases along with the higher level of household income, children’s education level, household location in urban areas and the lower number of family members. The impact of the fathers’ educational level on household demand for private tutoring is higher than that of the mothers’ educational level.
