Abou, Pokou Edouard (2015): Incidence du travail domestique, des caractéristiques de l’école et du ménage sur les résultats scolaires des filles en Côte d’Ivoire.

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to highlight the effects of domestic work of girls, school environment and household characteristics on their school results. From a probit model, the analysis indicates that domestic work favours, meaningfully, the fact of repeating a school year for girls. Besides, the availability of basic services in schools significantly reduces school failure of girls in rural areas. This study recommends that the governments have to improve the school environment in order to promote girls' performance at school.
