On top of health and education outcomes, adult mortality can have significant effects on children by influencing demographic outcomes including the timing of marriage. The authors examine marriage outcomes for a sample of children interviewed in Tanzania in the early 1990s and re-interviewed in 2004. They find that while girls who became paternal orphans married at significantly younger ages, orphanhood had little effect on boys. On the other hand, non-parental deaths in the household affect the timing of marriage for boys 2012-06-05T18:50:14Z 2012-06-05T18:50:14Z 2007-02 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2007/02/7396800/adult-mortality-childrens-transition-marriage http://hdl.handle.net/10986/7158 English Policy Research Working Paper; No. 4139 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Africa Tanzania
