本文利用来自42个欠发达国家的数据，探讨社会、政治、经济和教育变量与小学辍学率变化之间的关系。对数据的回归分析得出以下初步结论。留级率高的学校系统在小学阶段的辍学率也很高。这表明自动升级可以减少教育浪费。一个社会的高生育率和高度的社会紧张关系也阻碍了实现普及识字，而城市化的加强和通信系统的发展则增加了继续上学的机会。有一些证据表明，教育的经济回报是小学周期最后几个年级学生继续上学的重要决定因素，学校制度本身的特点与第一年后的辍学率有关。
This paper utilizes data from 42 less developed countries to explore the relationship between social, political, economic and educational variables and variations in the dropout rate from primary schools. Regression analysis of the data leads to the following tentative conclusions. School systems with high rates of repetition also have high dropout rates over the primary cycle. This suggests that automatic promotion may reduce educational wastage. High fertility rates and a high degree of social tension in a society also deter the attainment of universal literacy, while increased urbanization and development of communications systems increase school continuation. There is some evidence that the economic returns to education are important determinants of school continuation in the later grades of the primary cycle and that characteristics of the school system itself are related to dropouts after the first year.
