| Summary: | Using a high-frequency survey in the
Republic of Yemen, this paper demonstrates how school
attendance responds to a series of conflict-related shocks.
First, there are plausibly exogenous changes in violence
that have limited impacts on school attendance but do affect
other dimensions of well-being. And second, consequences of
conflict aside from living in close proximity to violence
can impact attendance. The importance of a wide variety of
conflict shocks suggests that an understanding of all shocks
is needed before attributing the cause of attendance changes
in such tumultuous settings, and these results have
implications for the delivery of education assistance in
conflict settings. |
