ABSTRACT

This quantitative analysis examines evidence for the impacts of mothers’ death on the schooling of their left-behind children (ages 6–17 years) in the Matlab Health and Demographic Surveillance System (HDSS) area of the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh. The analysis compared the completed levels of primary and junior secondary schooling in 2005 (respectively Class 1 among ages 6–17, Class 5 among ages 12–17 and Class 7 among ages 15–17) of children whose mothers had died during 1982–2005 (from maternal and/or nonmaternal causes, and any cause) with the completed schooling of children of surviving mothers in 2005. The results, after controlling for selected socioeconomic variables, indicate that children whose mothers had died had lower completion of schooling levels, and that those children from poorer households fared worst.

摘要

这项定量分析检查了孟加拉国腹泻病国际研究中心的Matlab健康和人口统计学监视系统（HDSS）区域中母亲死亡对留守儿童（6-17岁）的教育影响的证据。 。该分析比较了其母亲在1982-2005年期间死亡的儿童在2005年完成的初等和初中教育水平（分别为6-17岁的1级，12-17岁的5级和15-17岁的7级）。 （来自母体和/或非母体原因，以及任何原因）在2005年对尚存的母亲的孩子完成了学业。在控制了选定的社会经济变量之后，结果表明，母亲丧生的孩子的学业水平较低，
