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
