Abstract

Our research objectives are to investigate the effect of household income, the region of residence, and gender on the opportunity of children with disabilities (CWDs) to attend school, to propose policy implications for increasing the quality of CWDs in Indonesia. Our research uses the national socio-economic survey data from BPS Statistics Indonesia in 2018 and uses sub-sample of CWDs, with ages 6 to 18 years. The analysis involved is a cross-tabulation analysis and the multinomial logit model. The results highlight the positive effect of household income on the opportunity of attending school among CWDs. The chance of CWDs to drop out of school in rural areas is higher than in urban areas. Both boys and girls have a high risk of dropping out of school. For CWDs in rural areas, the main problem is not to encourage CWDs to participate in schools, but rather to keep them in school.
