摘要

本文以 52 个中低收入国家为背景，评估了孕产妇教育对儿童死亡率的影响。我们采用了姐妹固定效应模型，比较了不同教育年限的亲生姐妹之间的儿童死亡率结果。我们发现，产妇教育年限每增加一年，儿童死亡的可能性就会降低 0.4 个百分点（相对于样本平均值降低 4.3%）。此外，机制分析表明，妇女劳动力市场成果的改善、信息获取渠道的增加、同类匹配和医疗投入的分配是产妇教育与儿童死亡率之间联系的可能途径。

Maternal education and child mortality: Evidence from developing countries

This paper evaluates how maternal education affects child mortality in the context of 52 low- and middle-income countries. The sister fixed-effects model is employed, where we compare the child mortality outcome between biological sisters who attain different numbers of educational years. We find that an additional year of maternal education is linked with a 0.4 percentage point decrease in the likelihood of child mortality (a 4.3 % reduction relative to the sample mean). Additionally, the mechanism analysis reveals that improved women’s labor market outcome, increased access to information, assortative matching, and health input allocation are possible pathways to the link between maternal education and child mortality.

期刊介绍： The purpose of the International Journal of Educational Development is to foster critical debate about the role that education plays in development. IJED seeks both to develop new theoretical insights into the education-development relationship and new understandings of the extent and nature of educational change in diverse settings. It stresses the importance of understanding the interplay of local, national, regional and global contexts and dynamics in shaping education and development. Orthodox notions of development as being about growth, industrialisation or poverty reduction are increasingly questioned. There are competing accounts that stress the human dimensions of development.
