dc.description.abstract | This paper empirically investigates how government expenditure on female
education impacts women’s labor force participation in Bangladesh by exploiting
the country’s National Education Policy 2010 as an exogenous source of variation.
By employing a fuzzy regression discontinuity design, the study analyzes the
causal relationship between educational attainment and labor market participation
in two stages. The first stage reveals that exposure to NEP 2010 increased years of
schooling by approximately 0.28 years. However, in the second stage, a surprising
negative relationship between additional years of schooling and women’s labor
force participation emerges. These findings highlight the complexity of the
relationship between education policies and labor market outcomes for women. The
findings of the paper implies that the policy makers should prioritize overcoming
socio-economic obstacles in order to maximize the effects of educational reforms
on female labour force participation. By exploiting the primary school reform in
Bangladesh, this paper contributes to the existing literature on education and female
labour force participation. | sv |
