Children's Economic Activities and Primary School Attendance in Rural Guatemala,

Abstract

This paper documents an exploratory analysis of school attendance and time use in rural Guatemala. It is one of the first attempts to analyze school attendance using time use data from a developing country. The paper will interest: (1) researchers who will look at similar issues, and (2) education and development planners who are involved in program implementation. The results of this study suggest several policy interventions for increasing school attendance. They fall into two categories - one being to reduce the work constraints, the other being to increase motivation to send children to school.
