Educational attainment in Pakistan has
been historically low as compared to other countries in the
region. Currently the primary net enrollment rate (NER) in
Pakistan is sixty six percent which is far below that of
some of the other countries in the region. It is also
evident that there is great disparity within Pakistan,
particularly in Balochistan which has a primary NER of fifty
six percent as compared to the Punjab province which has a
primary NER of seventy percent. This project examined
various factors that influence enrollment decisions in
Pakistan however; there have been relatively few recent
studies that examine the determinants of schooling decisions
and gender differentials in schooling in Balochistan. This
analysis consists of three main components: (i) constructing
profiles of children in Balochistan by schooling status;
(ii) conducting a decomposition of variance of schooling
status; and (iii) a logistic regression analysis to
determine gender differentials in school enrollment. The
project results suggest that for six - ten year olds in
Balochistan the majority of variation in schooling status is
explained between households rather than within households,
while for eleven - fifteen year olds the majority of
variation in schooling status is explained by within
household differences. Poverty also plays a major role in
determining whether or not a child is enrolled in school, as
children belonging to the poorest wealth quintile in the six
- ten age groups are four times more likely to be out of
school than children in the richest wealth quintile. |
