Determinants of Schooling Attainment and Enrollment Rates in the Philippines

摘要

General schooling levels in the Philippines have risen sharply during the past two decades, with women catching up with, and possibly overtaking, men. To identify factors influencing schooling attainment and differences in schooling among families and between the sexes, a model of family allocations was estimated, using cross-section data on a randomly chosen sample of 1,903 families in the Bicol region.
