The population is very young: the under 15 years old represent 51.6% and the over 65 years only 3.5%, according to the same source. The country’s demographic growth is one of the fastest of the world. According to Niger DHS, 2012 - Final Report, the intercensal population growth rate which is strongly relied on the fertility increased from 3.3% for the period 1988- 2001 to 3.9% for the period 2001-2012. On this basis, the population would double within 20 years. A particular way that is seen to play a crucial role in the population growth reduction is girls' schooling. Positive results from this policy are still expected since the total fertility rate 1 passed from 7.1 to 7.6 according to DHS 2006 and DHS 2012 respectively.  \nThis paper aims to assess the impact of the parents'  \n1 This indicator measures the average number of children a woman aged 15-49 years would give at the end of her reproductive life.  \neducation on the progeny schooling. It focuses on verifying whether the mothers' education better impacts the children schooling, and therefore measures the intergenerational efficiency of the pro girls schooling policies in the case of Niger. For this purpose, we use the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data. It is noted that many authors found that there is an intergenerational impact of the education. Among them, we can quote Belzil and Hansen (2003) who found that parents'education account for 68% of the explained crosssectional variations in schooling attainments. Using Swiss data, Bauer and Riphahn (2007) also found substantial correlations of child-parent educational outcomes. Furthermore, according to Currie and Moretti (2003), mother’s education positively affects the human capital of children. Greenwood (1997), at her turn, showed that the benefits of parental educational attainment with an intergenerational dimension include the effect on the fertility and on the quality of parental investments in children, and the altered costs of educating children to a  \ngiven level of achievement.  \nMoreover, specifying the parent and child gender, t","cbCaieDkPLGPSnG7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieDkPLGPSnG7","pdf",603462,15,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n## Study purpose and data (DHS)\n## Literature background and related findings\n## Method overview (Probit model)","[{\"question\":\"What does the paper assess regarding girls' schooling in Niger?\",\"answer\":\"It assesses the impact of parents’ education on children’s schooling and tests whether mothers’ education produces stronger intergenerational effects for girls’ schooling policies in Niger.\"},{\"question\":\"Which data and method are used in the analysis?\",\"answer\":\"The study uses Niger’s Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data and applies a Probit model to estimate marginal effects of parental education on school enrolment and primary completion while controlling for child and household characteristics.\"},{\"question\":\"Do the results show stronger intergenerational effects from mothers’ or fathers’ education?\",\"answer\":\"The education of females today can significantly increase children’s education, but the rise is often slightly lower than the effect attributed to male education; econometric models may show the difference as not significant.\"}]","Prioritization of girls' schooling: Is there an intergenerational impact in Niger? | PDF",1792070252,38]
