“…Menon and van der Meulen Rodgers (2015), using three waves of data, showed that there was a pay-off from the conflict in increased paid female employment-as opposed to dependence on remittances and subsistence work-during the war. Valente (2013) showed that districts that experienced more conflict violence during the Maoist war also had the highest increases in educational attainment of girls during the war. Contrary to the negative effects of war on schooling recorded in countless other countries, war intensity in Nepal also increased male educational attainment, though not as strongly or robustly as for females.…”

“…Nepalese girls living in districts with a relatively high number of casualties from the Maoist insurgency are even 5.6 percentage points more likely to complete primary education than those living in unaffected districts (Valente 2014). …”

“…Overall, our identification strategy follows studies that investigate the impact of shocks on education -but which have focused on different types of shocks, such as a locust invasion in Mali (De Vreyer, Guilbert and Mesple-Somps 2015), the 1999 conflict in Timor Leste (Justino et al 2014), the civil war in Tajikistan (Shemyakina 2011), the Maoist insurgency in Nepal (Valente 2014), the Peruvian internal conflict (León 2012), and the civil war in Burundi (Verwimp and Van Bavel 2014).…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThis paper analyzes the short-and long-term impact of extreme weather events on educational outcomes in Mongolia. Our focus is on two extremely severe winters that caused mass livestock mortality. We use household panel data with comprehensive retrospective information on households' historic experience with weather shocks. Exposure to the weather shock significantly reduces the likelihood of being enrolled in mandatory school two to three years after the shock. Similarly, it significantly reduces the probability of completing basic education ten to eleven years after the shock. Both effects are driven by children from herding households. Results are robust to measuring shock intensity with district-level livestock mortality and climate data as well as household-level livestock losses. Exposure to weather shocks during preschool age (as opposed to exposure during primary and secondary school age) yields the worst consequences for educational attainment. Overall, the evidence points toward income effects as the channel through which the shock impacts education.

“…Most of these studies focus on the early stages of life while no study specifically examines adolescence. Evidence points to adverse impacts on education, including the years of education completed, the probability of completing primary and secondary education, and school enrolments (Akresh and de Walque, 2008;Shemyakina, 2011;Valente, 2014;Pivovarova and Swee, 2015;Brown and Velásquez, 2017;Bertoni et al, 2018). In Tajikistan, girls affected by conflict are 13 percentage points less likely to be enrolled in school (Shemyakina, 2011).…”

Adolescence constitutes the second and final window of human growth and a period of specific vulnerabilities, such as early pregnancy, early marriage, HIV infection, suicide, violence, alcohol, and drugs. Only a limited body of research investigates the effects of humanitarian crises on the human capital and well‐being of adolescents. The evidence focuses on the short‐term effects of conflict and, to a lesser extent, natural disasters on education, physical health, and nutrition, but not on mental health. Most analyses examine the situations of individuals exposed in utero and young childhood, but rarely during adolescence. Typically missing are robust empirical identification strategies and estimates on heterogeneous effects across age or gender. The lack of quality data and challenges in defining adolescence, establishing causality, or ensuring ethical research explain the knowledge gaps. Possible ways to expand the evidence base include mixing georeferenced data on individual location with georeferenced data on crises, sharpening quasi‐experimental analytical techniques, and reconsidering the current timing of demographic data collection, now spanning 4‐ or 5‐year intervals. The failure to make such adjustments will end by ignoring specific vulnerabilities among adolescents and render sustainable progress in well‐being globally, narrowing inequalities, and guaranteeing human rights to all more difficult to achieve.
