Abstract:
This study analyzes the impacts of parental absence due to migration, death, or divorce on children’s school enrollment in Vietnam. We find children from two-parent families have a better chance of enrolling at all levels of education than those from single-parent families. Within single-family types, the negative effect on children of parental divorce is higher than that of parental death, while the effect of parental migration is the lowest. We find that children living with a single mother tend to have higher school enrollment than those living with a single father, indicating the critical role of mothers in children’s education. JEL Classification: I1, I2, O1.
