Abstract Details

2017, Master of Arts (MA), Bowling Green State University, Cross-Cultural, International Education.
In this paper, the author uses country-level educational enrollment data parceled into primary-, secondary-, and tertiary-attainment, to delineate connections with specific development outcomes in low- and middle-income countries. The analyses are conducted using OLS Regression to assess education’s impact on total fertility rate, HIV prevalence, under-five mortality rate, life expectancy, GDP per capita growth rate, and the proportion of women in parliament. The author found that the levels of educational attainment have differentiated impacts on the development outcomes tested with secondary attainment having the strongest relationship to the total fertility rate while tertiary attainment has the strongest relationship of the attainment variables to under five mortality rate, HIV prevalence, and life expectancy. These results provide information for policy-makers looking to improve various indicators of wellbeing in their country.
