Resumen
Descripción
This brief has provided a basic profile
of child marriage in Egypt. Measures of child marriage are
very high. The share of women ages 18-22 who married as
children is 16.5 percent and it has declined over time. The
share of girls marrying very early, before the age of 15,
has also declined. Other measures of child marriage have
declined as well over the last 25 years. Child marriage is
associated with lower wealth, lower education levels, and
higher labor force participation. These are however only
correlations, not necessarily causal effects. Other briefs
in this series look at potential causal effects.
