2024 Henan Province Rural Education Investment and Consumption Preference Survey Statistical Dataset

To gain an in-depth understanding of the actual situation of rural residents regarding educational investment and consumption preferences, the research team conducted a large-scale household survey between June and July 2024 in 15 townships across 5 counties in Henan Province, resulting in the creation of the 2024 Henan Province Rural Education Investment and Consumption Preference Survey Statistical Dataset. The questionnaire covered multiple dimensions, including household demographics and income information, the structure of educational expenditures, online education usage, educational perceptions, and anxiety awareness. A total of 3,102 valid samples were collected. The questionnaire design combined expert interviews with literature reviews, and data collection was carried out through a combination of on-site household visits and random sampling. Data quality was ensured through procedures such as double-entry verification, outlier elimination, and logical consistency checks during data entry and processing. This dataset features a broad range of information dimensions, reasonable geographical coverage, and a clear variable structure, providing important micro-level foundational data for studies on rural household educational expenditure behavior, the evolution of consumption structures, and mechanisms for achieving educational equity.
