| description |
The authors examine the impact of ethnic
segmentation in education on educational outcomes. Between
1991 and the late 1990s, the Albanian Kosovar population
received education services in an informal system parallel
to the official one. Using the 2000 Kosovo LSMS Survey data,
the authors exploit cohort differences in exposure to the
parallel system to estimate its effects among Albanian
youth. The first (untreated) cohort includes individuals who
entered secondary education before 1991 when the
"parallel" education system was initiated. The
second (treated) cohort includes individuals who entered
secondary school in the last ten years under the ethnically
segmented education system. To disentangle the effects of
the changing system and economic environment, and the
changes in the characteristics of the population, a
Oaxaca-type decomposition is used. The results suggest that
the past decade of ethnic tension has claimed a substantial
toll on the educational outcomes of young male Albanian
Kosovars. In addition to declines in enrollment rates in
secondary education, those who are enrolled are expected to
complete one less year of education. However, secondary
school enrollment for girls increased during the parallel
system, but with a sharp decline in the expected number of
years completed. |
