abstract: 'In this paper we analyse the indirect effects of the boom in
horticultural exports in Senegal on child schooling. The export boom has
caused a dramatic increase in female off-farm wage employment, which led
to increased female bargaining power in the household. We investigate
the causal effect of female wage income on primary school enrolment. We
develop a collective household model with endogenous bargaining power to
show that, if women have higher preferences for schooling than men, the
impact of female wage income on school enrolment will be the result of a
positive income effect, a negative labour substitution effect and a
positive empowerment effect. We address the question empirically using
original household survey data from Senegal. We use different
econometric techniques and show that female off-farm wage income has a
positive effect on primary school enrolment for both boys and girls, and
that female empowerment is specifically important for the schooling of
girls. Our results imply that the horticultural export boom in Senegal
has indirectly contributed to the second and third Millennium
Development Goals of universal primary education and elimination of
gender disparities in primary education. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All
