Resumen
Descripción
Adult mortality due to HIV/AIDS and
other diseases is posited to affect children through a
number of pathways. On top of health and education outcomes,
adult mortality can have significant effects on children by
influencing demographic outcomes including the timing of
marriage. The authors examine marriage outcomes for a sample
of children interviewed in Tanzania in the early 1990s and
re-interviewed in 2004. They find that while girls who
became paternal orphans married at significantly younger
ages, orphanhood had little effect on boys. On the other
hand, non-parental deaths in the household affect the timing
of marriage for boys
