The Nature of Mothers’ Work and Children’s Schooling in Nepal: The Influence of Income and Time Effects

Published By: PC on eSS | Published Date: February, 10 , 2010

This paper examines the influence of the nature of mothers’ work on Nepali children’s schooling outcomes. Using nationally representative cross-sectional data from the Nepal Living Standards Survey (NLSS), it analyses whether the engagement of mothers (and fathers) in nonagricultural work has significant consequences for their children’s school attendance and grade attainment, compared with these consequences when parents’ work is in traditional subsistence agriculture.
