| dc.description.abstract | The Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (2004) was used to identify possible factors affecting the gender gap in school participation rates of children aged 13-18 in the Philippines. Unlike in most developed and developing countries, the Philippines marks greater progress and achievements in girls compared to boys, as reflected in the increasing involvement of women in higher job positions, country governance, and other leadership positions. This is highly affected by the inequality in school involvement observed in both rural and urban areas. As a result, the country's economic performance tends to deteriorate since individual maximum potential is not reached. The maximum likelihood method was used to evaluate the impacts of demographic factors such as family size and relationship to the family head, among others, on a child's probability of being enrolled. Additionally, socioeconomic factors such as income, parents' educational background and work status, and overall health, were also included in the test to find out if these are relevant to the study. To account for the possibility of the gender gap itself, interaction variables between the individual variables and the variable "sex" were used and analyzed to determine the effect of gender, if any, on each variable used in the model. | |
