Item Restricted Effect of household access to electricity on children's school participation(2017-12-20) Enriquez , Ma. Koleen F. ; Estampador, Camille Therese D. ; Ravago, Majah-Leah V.In this paper, we use the pooled cross-section data of Annual Poverty Indicators Survey from 2002 to 2016 in assessing the effect of household electricity access on school attendance. We find that due to electricity at home, the likelihood of a child attending school increases by 5 percentage points. On the other hand, there is a 4 percentage point increase in the odds of the child going to school if there is electricity present while also considering ownership of appliances (e.g. television, radio, air conditioner, and computer). In supporting future policies on the importance of household electricity, this study provides substantial evidence that household access to electricity has positive correlation on the school attendance of children in the Philippines.
