Abstract

It is well-known that school enrolment and retention of female students in most countries of South Asia are abysmally poor. While some recent improvements have been made possible via direct transfers to attract female students in school, the factors that can make participation natural and widespread remain elusive. This chapter tries to link school enrolment to prospects in industry and service sectors in these countries. We find that rise in industrial jobs for women invariably attracts female students to secondary school enrolment, which is not similar to rise in job prospects in services. Female school enrolment is also strongly influenced by peer-effects. We explore male industrial jobs and related interaction effects in establishing the proposed relation for eight South Asian countries between 1994 and 2018 via use of dynamic panel estimations.

Gross enrollment ratio is the ratio of total enrollment, regardless of age, to the population of the age group that officially corresponds to the level of education shown. Secondary education completes the provision of basic education that began at the primary level, and aims at laying the foundations for lifelong learning and human development, by offering more subject- or skill-oriented instruction using more specialized teachers (definition as per World Development Indicators, World Bank). For South Asia, primary and secondary school enrolment are more readily reported as compared to tertiary education at the aggregate.
