Abstract

ABSTRACT Education has wide-ranging benefits to both the individual and wider society. This article investigates the consequences of terrorist incidents on whether households can further their children’s schooling. Using both the Global Terrorism Database and Pakistan’s Social and Living Standards Measurement, we find that persistent exposure to terrorism significantly reduces the likelihood that parents will continue their children’s education. The result suggests, that for every million people, an increase in terrorist incidents causes 26,501 fewer children to continue their education at the primary school education level. We also examine the results by various demographic segments and types of terrorism attacks.

恐怖主义对继续教育的影响：来自巴基斯坦的证据

摘要教育对个人和整个社会都有广泛的好处。这篇文章调查了恐怖事件对家庭是否可以继续让孩子上学的影响。通过使用全球恐怖主义数据库和巴基斯坦的社会和生活水平衡量，我们发现，持续接触恐怖主义大大降低了父母继续子女教育的可能性。结果表明，每100万人中，恐怖事件的增加导致继续接受小学教育的儿童减少26501人。我们还审查了不同人口群体和恐怖主义袭击类型的结果。
