Abstract

Cet article montre que les ménages utilisent le retrait des enfants du système éducatif comme stratégie ex-post de gestion des chocs de revenu qu’il subissent. L’analyse souligne également qu’un grand nombre d’enfants dans un ménage affecte négativement la probabilité de scolarisation des enfants mettant ainsi en exergue l’existence d’un arbitrage dans l’allocation des ressources d’éducation entre les enfants du ménage. Cet arbitrage de ressources laisse place à un effet d’incitation lorsque l’on prend en compte la scolarisation des frères et des soeurs : des enfants ayant des frères et soeurs scolarisés ont de plus grande chance d’aller à l’école. Ce résultat remet ainsi en cause l’hypothèse largement acceptée de dilution de ressources intra-ménages pour l’éducation.
