Abstract

Les chocs de revenus subis par les ménages les plus démunis peuvent inciter les parents à retirer leurs enfants de l'école pour les introduire sur le marché du travail, lorsque les autres instruments de maîtrise des risques sont insuffisants. Ces réponses aux chocs à court terme peuvent entraîner des conséquences à plus long terme sur le développement du capital humain des enfants. En utilisant des données issues d’une enquête ménages en Ethiopie, nous examinons l’impact des chocs pluviométriques sur les décisions d’investissement dans le capital humain à moyen terme. Les résultats suggèrent que les chocs climatiques réduisent significativement l’investissement dans le capital humain. Dans ce contexte, les mécanismes psychologiques jouent un rôle important dans le processus décisionnel des ménages à l’origine d’une déscolarisation des enfants. Nous avançons que l’exposition aux chocs de revenus exacerbe la perception de l’investissement dans le capital éducatif comme relativement risqué, toutes choses égales par ailleurs. La forte prévalence des chocs de revenu (expériences naturelles) ou le ressenti de cette prévalence aggrave l’aversion au risque des ménages, en accentuant la concavité de leur fonction d’utilité.
