Resumen
Descripción
This brief has provided a basic profile
of child marriage in Burkina Faso. Measures of child
marriage are high. The share of women ages 18-22 who married
as children is 49.8 percent and it has not declined
substantially over time. The share of girls marrying very
early, before the age of 15, has also not changed much (it
has increased slightly versus 25 years ago). 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.
