Poverty and Basic Education in Rural China: Villages, Households, and Girls' and Boys' Enrollment.
Hannum, Emily
Comparative Education Review, v47 n2 p141-59 May 2003

Analysis of 1992 national survey data on 7,550 villages and nearly 78,000 rural children aged 12-14 revealed that household income, village income, and village provision of junior high schools had distinct net impacts on children's enrollment probabilities, with larger effects on girls than boys.
