旨在增加低收入环境中教育的政策需要了解儿童不上学的原因。根据坦桑尼亚小学学龄儿童的纵向数据，我们的分析评估了决定儿童出勤率的各个方面的作用。我们的研究结果表明，针对提高儿童入学率的政策需要集中在家庭背景下的上学需求。应考虑影响家庭内童工需求的政策，特别是促进替代童工的政策。此外，针对中学的方案（包括改善入学机会）可间接影响小学的上学时间，特别是女孩的上学时间。
Policies designed to increase education in low-income settings require an understanding of why children do not attend school. Drawing on longitudinal data of primary-school age children in Tanzania, our analysis evaluates the role various dimensions in determining children's attendance. Our results indicate that policies directed towards increasing a child's attendance need to be focused on the demand for schooling within the context of the household. Policies that affect demand for child labour within the household, especially those that promote substitutes for child labour, should be considered. Furthermore, programmes aimed at secondary schools (including improving access) can have an indirect affect on hours of primary-school attendance, particularly for girls.
