It combines a nationwide household survey with secondary sources on the location and timing of the conflict. Only 20 percent of the birth cohorts studied (1971-1986) completed primary education. Depending on the specification, the probability of completing primary schooling for a boy exposed to violent conflict declines by 7 to 17 percentage points compared to a nonexposed boy, with a decline of 11 percentage points in the preferred specification. In addition, exposure to violent conflict reduces the gender gap in schooling, but only for girls from nonpoor households. Forced displacement is one of the channels through which conflict affects schooling. The results are robust to various specifications and estimation methods.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO MARKETSADEQUATE NUTRITIONADULT MORTALITYAGE AT MARRIAGEAGRICULTURAL SHOCKSARMED CONFLICTBATTLESBOMBINGBOMBINGSCAPACITY BUILDINGCHILD LABORCHILD SOLDIERSCIVIL CONFLICTCIVIL WARCIVIL WARSCOMPLETION RATECONFLICTSDEATHSDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEDEVELOPMENT POLICYDISEASESDISPLACEMENT CAMPDISPLACEMENT CAMPSDROUGHTEARLY CHILDHOODEARLY ONSETECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC SHOCKSEDUCATION DATAEDUCATION FOR ALLEDUCATION OF CHILDRENEDUCATION SECTOREDUCATION SYSTEMEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEDUCATIONAL PLANNINGELECTIONSEXPERIENCED VIOLENCEEXPOSURE TO VIOLENCEFAMINEFARMERSFEMALE ENROLLMENTFERTILITYFERTILITY DECLINEFIGHTINGFIRST BIRTHFOOD CROPSFORMAL EDUCATIONFUTURE GENERATIONSGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER GAPGENDER GAP IN PRIMARYGENDER INEQUALITIESGENDER PARITYGENDER PARITY INDEXGENDER ROLESGENOCIDEGROSS ENROLLMENTGROSS ENROLLMENT RATEGROSS ENROLLMENT RATESHEALTH CAREHEALTH CONSEQUENCESHOUSEHOLD ASSETSHOUSEHOLD COMPOSITIONHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN RIGHTSHUSBANDSIMFIMPACT OF CONFLICTIMPACT ON CHILDRENINCOMEINEQUALITYINFORMAL INSURANCEINFORMAL INSURANCE MECHANISMSINSURANCEINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL COMMUNITYINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERVENTIONSJOURNALISTSLABOR MARKETLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIMITED RESOURCESLIVESTOCK OWNERSHIPMALNUTRITIONMARRIED COUPLEMASSACRESMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMINORITYMOTHERNATIONAL PROGRESSNATIONSNEONONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONNONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONSNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUMBER OF GIRLSORPHANSPEACEPEACE RESEARCHPOLICY DISCUSSIONSPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOLITICAL POWERPOLITICAL VIOLENCEPOORPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOVERTY HEADPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGY PAPERPRIMARY EDUCATIONPRIMARY SCHOOLPRIMARY SCHOOL AGEPRIMARY SCHOOL COMPLETIONPRIMARY SCHOOL COMPLETION RATEPRIMARY SCHOOL COMPLETION RATESPRIMARY SCHOOLINGPROGRESSRAPEREBELREBEL BASEREBELSRECONCILIATIONRECONSTRUCTIONREFUGEESRESPECTREVOLUTIONROADSRURALRURAL POORRURAL POPULATIONRURAL PROVINCESSAVINGSSCHOOL BUILDINGSSCHOOL CAREERSCHOOL DROPOUTSSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL FACILITIESSCHOOL FEESSCHOOLINGSCHOOLING FOR GIRLSSCHOOLING OF BOYSSCHOOLSSECONDARY EDUCATIONSEXSEX OF THE CHILDSEXUAL VIOLENCESOCIAL SCIENCESSPOUSESSUSTAINABLE HUMAN DEVELOPMENTTEACHERSTEMPORARY MIGRATIONUNESCOUNFPAVICTIMSVILLAGE LEVELVIOLENCEVIOLENT CONFLICTWARWARFAREWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONYOUNG ADULTYOUNG AGEYOUNG CHILDRENYOUNG GIRLSYOUNG WOMENWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-6418
