The Timor Leste secession conflict
lasted for 25 years. Its last wave of violence in 1999,
following the withdrawal of Indonesian troops, generated
massive displacement and destruction with widespread
consequences for the economic and social development of the
country. This paper analyzes the impact of the conflict on
the level and access to education of boys and girls in Timor
Leste. The authors examine the short-term impact of the 1999
violence on school attendance and grade deficit rates in
2001, and the longer-term impact of the conflict on primary
school completion of cohorts of children observed in 2007.
They compare the educational impact of the 1999 wave of
violence with the impact of other periods of high-intensity
violence during the 25 years of Indonesian occupation. The
short-term effects of the conflict are mixed. In the longer
term, the analysis finds a strong negative impact of the
conflict on primary school completion among boys of school
age exposed to peaks of violence during the 25-year long
conflict. The effect is stronger for boys attending the last
three grades of primary school. This result shows a
substantial loss of human capital among young males in Timor
Leste since the early 1970s, resulting from household
investment trade-offs between education and economic survival. |
