Abstract | In this paper, I examine the importance of declining economic conditions in school attendance decisions for households with teenagers aged 12 - 17 in Costa Rica. I estimate a reduced-form model for school attendance that includes variables to measure household labour market factors, teenager characteristics, regional effects and year effects. The year effects - to measure cyclical factors - show a large drop in school attendance not otherwise explained by the household included between the years of macroeconomic recession (1981 - 1983). These changes coincide with fiscal austerity imposed towards the end of 1982. In addition, household labour market characteristics and teenager characteristics are significant determinants of teenager school attendance. (DIPF/orig.) |
