Description
To study how the household conditions affect a child’s school going decisions in Bangladesh, we turn to data from Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). We examine proximate factors associated with school dropouts by developing OLS and probit models to see if our models can explain the Bangladesh DHS data well. We pay special attention to any differential effects of the gender of the household head or across regions.
