Abstract

Abstract This paper examines the intergenerational effect of child marriage on education. While most of the literature focuses on child marriage generations, the spillover effects on offspring require close attention to terminate the endless loop of child marriage-related issues. By employing coarsened exact matching (CEM), the authors analyse how child marriage impacts the education of the offspring of child-married mothers in marginal areas in Nepal. This study utilises the Nepal Marginal Settlements Survey: Household 2014/15 data set, with a finalised sample size of 2681 children. The authors use ‘overage’ as an outcome variable to reflect the comprehensive education attainment situation. In this paper, ‘overage’ refers to the difference between students’ observed age and the standard schooling age of his or her current grade defined by Nepal’s government. The estimated results show that being born to a mother married before 18 years of age increases female children’s overage by 0.352 years and male children’s overage by 0.498 years. This intergenerational effect of child marriage on education differs distinctly by gender. The effect becomes more severe as the marriage age of the mother decreases.

尼泊尔边缘定居点童婚的代际教育效应
摘要本文考察了童婚对教育的代际影响。虽然大多数文献都关注童婚世代,但对后代的溢出效应需要密切关注,以终止童婚相关问题的无休止循环。通过使用粗精确匹配(CEM),作者分析了童婚如何影响尼泊尔边缘地区童婚母亲后代的教育。本研究利用了尼泊尔边缘定居点调查:2014/15年家庭数据集,最终样本量为2681名儿童。作者使用“超龄”作为一个结果变量来反映综合教育程度的情况。在本文中,“超龄”是指学生的观察年龄与尼泊尔政府规定的当前年级的标准上学年龄之间的差异。估计结果表明,母亲在18岁之前结婚 年龄的增长使女性儿童的超龄增加0.352 年龄和男性儿童超龄0.498 年。童婚对教育的代际影响因性别而异。随着母亲结婚年龄的降低,这种影响变得更加严重。

期刊介绍: Third World Quarterly ( TWQ ) is the leading journal of scholarship and policy in the field of international studies. For almost four decades it has set the agenda of the global debate on development discourses. As the most influential academic journal covering the emerging worlds, TWQ is at the forefront of analysis and commentary on fundamental issues of global concern. TWQ examines all the issues that affect the many Third Worlds and is not averse to publishing provocative and exploratory articles, especially if they have the merit of opening up emerging areas of research that have not been given sufficient attention. TWQ is a peer-reviewed journal that looks beyond strict "development studies", providing an alternative and over-arching reflective analysis of micro-economic and grassroot efforts of development practitioners and planners. It furnishes expert insight into crucial issues before they impinge upon global media attention. TWQ acts as an almanac linking the academic terrains of the various contemporary area studies - African, Asian, Latin American and Middle Eastern - in an interdisciplinary manner with the publication of informative, innovative and investigative articles. Contributions are rigorously assessed by regional experts.
