The concept of household headship is changing so that the person who is responsible for the family itself is identified as the head of household. Female household headship, however, may still be associated with cultural norms that prevent a woman from being the head of household in the presence of a man. In these cases, women are only considered as heads in single-parent families, and these families are associated with the phenomenon of the feminization of poverty. It is known that parental education has a great influence on the education of children; Therefore, this study aimed to verify if the female household headship influences the education of the children, in the period of 1996, 2006 and 2016, in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre. A model was constructed and the database of PED – Pesquisa de Emprego e Desemprego - was processed using the IBM SPSS Statistics 20 software, in a linear regression. Among the results the following stands out: the positive sign for the coefficient of the mother's education variable, the negative sign of the coefficient estimated for the female household headship and the positive sign found in the variable of women as head of household combined with women having high education.
