Educational Trajectories from Childhood to Early Adulthood: Aspirations, Gender and Poverty in Ethiopia

This paper discusses educational trajectories and gendered outcomes in early adulthood in Ethiopia

Abstract

This working paper discusses educational trajectories and gendered outcomes in early adulthood in Ethiopia. It is based on the Young Lives longitudinal study of a cohort of children born in 1994, the year when the first educational policy that set out the subsequent expansion of formal schooling in Ethiopia was launched.

Young Lives is an international study of childhood poverty, following the lives of 12,000 children in 4 countries (Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam) over 15 years. Young Lives is funded by the UK Department for International Development
