The Effects of Armed Conflict on Accumulation of Schooling: Results from Tajikistan - Note Negative Impact of Conflict on School Enrollment for Teen GIRLS in Tajikistan.

This paper examines the effect of the civil armed conflict from 1992 to 1998 in Tajikistan on the accumulation of schooling. It does so by combining differences in exposure to the conflict across regions and cohorts using data from the 1999 and 2003 Tajik Living Standards Surveys.

The study finds that homes of 6.8 percent of the households were damaged during the conflict and that 40% of 2000 households live in a community with such damage. The regression results suggest that exposure to the conflict had a significant negative effect on the enrolment of girls of age 14 - 16, and, little or, no effect on enrolment of boys and younger children.
