Abstract

This study examines the short-term impact of the compulsory primary education law (CPEL) on the educational attainment of children in Vietnam. This study uses the 1999 Vietnam Population and Housing Census and survival analysis to account for the right-censoring problem in the educational outcomes of children. The study found that CPEL reduces the dropout rate of children by 12%. However, the effect is minor, especially when compared with the impact of family income and parents' education. This finding is similar to those of other studies, suggesting that in addition to CPEL, other family income support and parent-oriented policies are crucial to improving children's educational attainment.

初等义务教育法对儿童受教育程度的影响：越南的证据

本研究探讨了《初等义务教育法》（CPEL）对越南儿童受教育程度的短期影响。本研究利用 1999 年越南人口和住房普查以及生存分析来解释儿童教育成果中的右侧删减问题。研究发现，CPEL 将儿童辍学率降低了 12%。然而，这种影响很小，尤其是与家庭收入和父母受教育程度的影响相比。这一研究结果与其他研究结果类似，表明除受惠儿童方案外，其他家庭收入支持和以家长为导向的政策对于提高儿童的教育成就也至关重要。
