Bangladesh has one of the world's highest child marriage rates. It is also one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change. This paper studies the effect of climate variability on child marriage using data from five waves of the Demographic and Health Surveys. I find that a higher number of dry months in a given year significantly increases the probability of early marriage. Importantly, precipitation fluctuations only affect rural but not urban populations, suggesting that the main channel through which climate affects early marriage is likely an income channel. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

孟加拉国天气变化对童婚的影响

孟加拉国是世界上童婚率最高的国家之一。它也是最容易受到气候变化影响的国家之一。本文使用来自五轮人口与健康调查的数据研究气候变异对童婚的影响。我发现给定年份的干旱月份越多，早婚的可能性就越大。重要的是，降水波动只影响农村人口而不影响城市人口，这表明气候影响早婚的主要渠道可能是收入渠道。© 2020 约翰威利父子公司
