Abstract

ABSTRACT This study examines the effect of household water accessibility on children’s educational attainment in villages situated in the remote hilly and mountainous areas of Nepal. Educational attainment was measured based on school attendance, grade repetition, and completion of primary and lower-secondary schooling. The estimation results show that a one-hour increase in the time spent on a water-fetching trip will decrease the probability of girls completing primary school by about 17 percentage points (in the age group of 14–16 years). Although boys’ completion rate is less affected, they are more likely to repeat a grade. Additional analyses indicate that these results are driven by the increased participation of older boys and younger girls in household duties.

家庭用水和女童教育:尼泊尔丘陵和山区村庄的案例

摘要本研究考察了尼泊尔偏远丘陵山区村庄家庭用水可及性对儿童教育成就的影响。受教育程度是根据学校出勤率、年级留级和完成小学和初中教育来衡量的。估算结果表明，在取水路上花费的时间每增加一小时，女童完成小学教育的概率就会降低约17个百分点(14-16岁年龄组)。尽管男孩的完成率受到的影响较小，但他们更有可能留级。其他分析表明，这些结果是由年龄较大的男孩和年龄较小的女孩更多地参与家务所推动的。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
