“…Some parents lack awareness of the importance of education, leading them to withdraw children from school (Ud Din et al., ; Cemalcilar & Goksen, ; Banik & Neogi, ) (Pakistan, Turkey, India). The analysis of Banik and Neogi () in India showed that these parents consider education as a waste of money which may make them go hungry. Dropout is also prevalent among immigrant households, as observed in Pakistan, Thailand and Turkey (Farid‐ul‐Hasnain & Krantz, ; Korinek & Punpuing, ; Cemalcilar & Goksen, ).…”

This paper systematically reviews the literature on the causes of leaving school early in Africa and Asia. Despite the improvement in primary school enrolment in the developing countries by 2015, the persistence of school dropout, however, renders this improvement almost insignificant. This leads to the necessity of observing the prolonged determinants of dropping out from school amid the current global development efforts to improve educational attainment in these countries. For this purpose, we review 43 articles in this study. These articles are peer‐reviewed publications on the causes of early school leaving or school dropout in Africa and Asia, from the year 2001 to present (2018). A great number of causes are found to be linked to the reason for leaving school early. However, the most common causes for early school leaving include lack of income, parents’ education and employment status, living in a single‐parent household, being a illegitimate child, age, region of residence and school performance. Specifically, for Asia, immigration and ethnicity are important factors. This paper recommends that policies to prevent early school leaving require multi‐perspective targeting, involving individual, school, community and family. For instance, attention needs to be drawn to the effective trickling down of necessary school provisions and other contemporary societal provisions to all communities. There is also need for improved individual and family awareness on the positive impact of education as well as the dangers of certain cultural beliefs.

“…Nonetheless, a higher proportion of girls among children aged 5-14 was associated with lower probability of a child being involved in child labor as girls were less likely to enter the labor market. Various factors, such as pressures to earn income and engage in household work and other difficulties associated with accessing school, as well as lack of parental awareness about the importance of children's education, are found to explain the dropout of children from school in India (Banki and Neogi 2014). The complex interplay of poverty and demography thus affects the educational experiences of those from poor households.…”

This chapter discusses the dialectic relationship between education and poverty in South Asian countries by outlining some of the available evidence and debates pertinent to the ways in which poverty affects access to and quality of schooling and is in turn affected by schooling. In order to understand this relationship, it is important to consider both the access to and the quality of the education available to the poor, as well as its economic and social outcomes. This chapter points out that educational policy debates are often driven by the assumption that inclusion of poor children in mainstream schooling is a solution to their poverty, a view that is often challenged by sociologists of education who point to the gaps between the

A Multidimensional Perspective on Education in Developing Countries

The aim of this thesis is to increase our knowledge on educational outcomes in low income and lower-middle-income countries by examining the intergenerational correlation of education in multiple dimensions, given the complexity inherent in the concept and the global persistence in the number of early school leavers. We posit that in order to combat the high rate of school dropout among the poor and to increase the intergenerational mobility of education, it is necessary to explore the role played by the reduction in the intergenerational mobility on inequalities that occur early in the lives of children. In other words, gaps that emerge early in life among families that need to be addressed and offset. These are gaps that exist due to inherited limited opportunities from parents and a lack of basic necessities for a comfortable standard of living.The exploration of the reduction of educational inequalities across generations is on two fronts.First, by increasing opportunities educationally, economically, and socially in society so that the independence of children's education to that of their parents will be enhanced. This may be done through public policies or actions that favour the socioeconomically disadvantaged in the society. Second, by increasing the absolute intergenerational mobility through the easing of deprivations in the households and their consequences, which make that school-aged individuals are more likely to leave school early. More knowledge and insight in these issues may contribute to achieving this goal. We therefore examine whether educational attainment vulnerability in developing countries can be explained by looking at their institutional or contextual characteristics and household deprivation status.We therefore advance the following hypothesis in Chapter 1: Hypothesis A: Push, pull, and falling out factors are prominent determinants of early schoolleaving in both Africa and Asia and context-specific Hypothesis B: Favourable institutional characteristics are able to reduce the intergenerational correlation of education Hypothesis C: Intergenerational correlation of education significantly increases with household deprivation Chapter 2 presents the evidence on early school leaving in the literature using findings from low income and lower-middle-income countries. This is done by a systematic literature review on the causes of early school leaving in Africa and Asia. It comprises of studies published from 2001 to 2018, which are either quantitative, mixed, or qualitative. We review a total of 43 vi studies. The studies included applied different analyses including logistic regression, linear regression, descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, probit regression, discrete-time logit model, Cox regression model, and narrative studies.Based on the findings, pull factors, push factors and falling out factors determine early school leaving. However, the pull factors show a very high prominence across Africa and Asia. These pull factors include gender, religion, ethnicity, house work, wag...
