abstract: 'This paper uses the Tanzanian Universal Primary Education (UPE) program
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
implemented between 1974 and 1978 to study the effect of education on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household consumption and on labor market participation in a rural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
environment. Combining regional disparities of access to school with the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
timing of the program, I adopt a difference-in-difference approach. To
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
estimate the returns to education for the entire population and not only
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for wage workers, I use a two-sample estimation approach to predict
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consumption for every household and find that education increases
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
predicted consumption for household heads working in every sector. I
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
also provide evidence that education increases the probability of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working in agriculture for women. These results, at first surprising,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suggest that education may influence the structural trans-formation and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that returns to education are positive in agriculture, provided that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
skills taught at school are consistent with agriculture.
