This brief has provided a basic profile
of child marriage in Chad. Measures of child marriage are
very high. The share of women ages 18-22 who married as
children is 68.7 percent and it has not declined
substantially over time. The share of girls marrying very
early, before the age of 15, has declined slightly. 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. |
