Comparing the Effects of Parental Death and Chronic Poverty on Children’s Education and Health: Evidence from Indonesia
نویسندگان
چکیده
We estimate the short and long term effect of maternal and paternal death on children’s school enrolment, education attainment, and health in Indonesia, then compare it to the effect of chronic poverty. We also investigate whether there are any gender dimensions on the effects. Using a sufficiently long-spanning longitudinal dataset, we find that young maternal orphans have worse educational outcomes compared to non-orphans, with the effect getting worse over time. However, we find no significant health effects of orphanhood. Meanwhile, chronically poor children have worse health and education outcomes. Among young children, the adverse effect of maternal orphanhood on education is significantly worse than that of chronic poverty. Lastly, chronically poor orphans do not suffer adverse effects beyond the effects of chronic poverty.
