Resumen
Descripción
This brief has provided a basic profile
of child marriage in Bangladesh. Measures of child marriage
are still high. The share of women ages 18-22 who married as
children has declined over time, but remains substantial at
59.4 percent. The share of girls marrying very early, before
the age of 15, has declined too, but also remains high at
22.9 percent. Child marriage is associated with lower
wealth, lower education levels, and a higher likelihood of
work without cash earnings. These are however only
correlations, not necessarily causal effects.
