Abstract: Socio-economic factor plays an important role on human capital formation by the parents for their children. The children's knowledge, skills, habits and moral values are influenced by the parents and families who support and motivate their children. The socio-economic factor is the social class of an individual or a group. The socio-economic factors play a vital role on their children's education, stability, and health and nutrition value. This factor is frequency measured on the basis of the educational level, the employment status and the income of the family. The socio-economic factors like that the parental education level, their employment states and their income level are influencing the higher secondary school student's enrolment rate. Girls have lower enrolment rate than boys in most of the developing countries including India. It reduces human capital which subsequently has negative impact on country's economic growth. Despite the various women's movement and government policies. There is a significant gender gap in Indian education system at all levels. The gap is wider in higher secondary education. During their higher secondary education females face many problems and challenges in their families as well as in schools. Sometimes these problems may result in discontinuation of girl's education. It is therefore a requirement that these problems should be discussed and controlled to increase the participation of girls in secondary and higher secondary education.
