Early Childbearing, School Attainment, and Cognitive Skills: Evidence From Madagascar

Catalina Herrera Almanza, David E. Sahn
Demography (2018) 55 (2): 643–668.

... in Madagascar that capture the transition from adolescence to adulthood for a cohort aged 21–24 in 2012, first interviewed in 2004. We find that early childbearing increases the likelihood of dropping out of school and decreases the chances of completing secondary school. This pregnancy-related school dropout...

Life expectancy projections for males in Madagascar. The plots include the UN projections and our median projections, with 80 % and 95 % prediction intervals. The life expectancy values used to estimate our model are indicated by grey circles. Panel a shows projections for 2005–2010. A typical stochastic trajectory is shown in black, illustrating that the future trajectory is likely to be less smooth than the median projection. Panel b shows cross-validation projections from 1990 to 1995. Observed life expectancies for the period 1995–2005 are shown as squares

Observed five-year gains in life expectancy, plotted against the life expectancy at the beginning of the five-year period. UN estimates for 158 countries from 1950 to 2005 are included in this figure (). Each point represents an observed five-year gain in life expectancy within a country. The black line is a locally weighted polynomial (lowess) regression of the observations, which highlights the nonconstant rate of gains in life expectancy. Included in the upper plot are the fitted posterior median double-logistic functions for Japan and Madagascar from our model. The UN deterministic models are included in the lower plot. (Note that 31 observations (1.8 %) are outside the range of the plot and are not shown, but they were included in the local regression)
