Household Constraints on Schooling by Gender: Empirical Evidence from Ethiopia.
Rose, Pauline; Al-Samarrai, Samer
Comparative Education Review, v45 n1 p36-63 Feb 2001
Examines individual and household characteristics that affect the probability of a boy or girl attending and completing primary school in two regions of Ethiopia. Finds that school attendance was related to household wealth, parents' education, and child's nutritional status, while completion was affected more by economic constraints and, for girls, by being overage for their grade.
