• TITLE: Why Do Children Quit School in Tanzania?: Impact of Parental Preference on Schooling

  AUTHORS: Masoud Saleh Issa, Maryam Issa Juma, Amran Said Suleiman

  ABSTRACT: This paper uses a Probit model to identify if parental preference in expenditure plays a significant role in children schooling. The study reveals that parental preference of education expenditure significantly influences child schooling, regardless of wealth or community characteristics. While the preference for alcohol and tobacco, health, and food expenditure have a negative influence on child schooling. However, when we control poverty and community characteristics, they show no influence. This signifies that the influence of increasing preference in alcohol, health, and food expenditure to child schooling will only affect poor families.
