| description |
This brief has provided a basic profile
of child marriage in Ethiopia. Measures of child marriage
remain high. The share of women ages 18-22 who married as
children is 36.4 percent, but it has declined substantially
over time. The share of girls marrying very early, before
the age of 15, has also declined. Other measures of child
marriage have declined as well over the last 25 years. Child
marriage is associated with lower wealth and lower education
levels. It is not associated with lower or higher labor
force participation, but it is associated with work without
cash earnings. These are however only correlations, not
necessarily causal effects. Other briefs in this series look
at potential causal effects. |
