Editing Numeracy (section)

==Socioeconomic status==
Children who are brought up in families with high SES tend to be more engaged in developmentally enhancing activities.<ref name="CiampaOsborn2010" /> These children are more likely to develop the necessary abilities to learn and to become more motivated to learn.<ref name="CiampaOsborn2010" /> More specifically, a mother's education level is considered to have an effect on the child's ability to achieve in numeracy. That is, mothers with a high level of education will tend to have children who succeed more in numeracy.<ref name="CiampaOsborn2010" />

A number of studies have, moreover, proved that the education level of the mother is strongly [[correlated]] with the average age of getting married. More precisely, females who entered the marriage later, tend to have greater [[autonomy]], chances for skills premium and level of education (i.e. numeracy). Hence, they were more likely to share this experience with children.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Joerg |first1=Baten |last2=Mikołaj |first2=Szołtysek |last3=Monica |first3=Campestrini |title='Girl Power' in Eastern Europe?
