Descripción
This paper investigates the determinants
of primary school enrollment, attendance and child labor in
Bolivia from 1999 to 2007. The analysis also aims at
identifying the substitution and complementary relationships
between schooling and working. Although enrollment rates
show a significant improvement, lack of attendance remains
an issue. The empirical results reveal that the increase in
enrollment is led by indigenous children and those living in
urban areas. Moreover, contrary to common belief, being
extremely poor and indigenous are the main determinants of
school attendance. Although extremely poor children
increased their school attendance, they were not able to
reduce child labor. However, for indigenous children school
attendance and child labor were substitutes, increasing
schooling and reducing child labor.
