Does wealth increase affect school enrolment in ultra-poor h evidence from an experiment in Bangladesh / Munshi, Sulaima - 2015 - 139 - 156
Access to education is usually found to be highly correlated with household income and wealth. This correlation often instigates an expectation that increasing income of the poor households will lead to greater human capital accumulation. This paper exploits randomized roll-out of a large-scale livelihood development programme for the ultra-poor in Bangladesh to measure the effect of asset transfer and livelihood supports on children
