dc.description.abstract
Using a panel data for non-OECD countries covering the period 1970-2012, this chapter
analyzes the impact of the duration of primary education on school enrollment, drop-out and
completion rates. The empirical results show that for children in elementary school one ad-
ditional grade of primary education have a negative impact on the enrollment rate, while the
e ect on drop-outs is positive. Analogously, it is obtained that an additional grade in primary
education reduces the enrollment rate in secondary education. These results are in line with
the fertility model approach, that is, in developing and underdeveloped countries parents do not
have incentive to send children to school given the high perceived economic value of children.
