Increasing participation in family decision making is an integral part of adolescent development. This paper uses longitudinal data from four low and middle income countries—Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam—to assess the relationship between young people's involvement in schooling decision making and schooling outcomes. In the pooled sample, compared to young adults who indicate to have no say in educational choices at age 19, adolescents who make these decisions unilaterally or jointly with parents are on average 17%–23% more likely to drop out by age 22. The effects are, however, heterogenous across countries.

年轻人的决策参与和受教育程度

越来越多地参与家庭决策是青少年发展不可或缺的一部分。本文使用来自四个低收入和中等收入国家（埃塞俄比亚，印度，秘鲁和越南）的纵向数据来评估年轻人参与学校决策和教育成果之间的关系。在汇总样本中，与19岁时表示在教育选择中没有发言权的年轻人相比，单方面或与父母共同做出这些决定的青少年到22岁时辍学的可能性平均高出17％–23％。但是，各国之间的影响是不同的。
