Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We report on an experiment with poor rural households in Ethiopia, which aimed to boost aspirations for a better future through exposure to documentaries
featuring local male and female role models. We explore effects on parents' educational aspirations and investment in children's education. At baseline, educational
aspirations are high but biased against girls. At a six-month follow-up, the intervention increased parents' aspirations for their children's education and increased
enrollment, time spent in school, and schooling expenditures. There was no catching up of girls relative to boys. Results are consistent with broader local social
norms that value education but disfavor women.
