Abstract

This paper empirically studies the impact of massive and sudden school closures following the 2011 nationwide student strike in Chile on teenage pregnancy. We observe an average increase of 2.7% in teenage pregnancies in response to temporary high school shutdowns, equal to 1.9 additional pregnancies per lost school day. The effect diminishes after three quarters since the strike’s onset. The effects are predominantly driven by first-time mothers aligned with high-school absenteeism periods and are unrelated to the typical seasonality of teenage fertility or pregnancies in other age groups. Additionally, we document that the strike had a larger disruptive role by affecting students’ educational trajectories, evidenced by a persistent increase in dropout rates and a reduction in college admission test take-up for both female and male students.

罢工两次:智利大规模学生动员和少女怀孕问题
本文通过实证研究了 2011 年智利全国学生罢课后学校突然大规模停课对少女怀孕的影响。我们观察到,由于高中临时停课,少女怀孕人数平均增加了 2.7%,相当于每损失一个上课日,就会增加 1.9 例怀孕。这种影响在罢工开始三个季度后逐渐减弱。这种效应主要是由与高中停课期一致的初为人母者产生的,与青少年生育或其他年龄组怀孕的典型季节性无关。此外,我们还记录了罢工通过影响学生的教育轨迹而产生的更大破坏性作用,这体现在辍学率的持续上升以及男女学生参加大学入学考试人数的减少。
