Moreover, children from poorer households are less likely to go to school. There are also considerable variations in net enrolment rates across these countries for children from poor households. Although education for girls has high economic and social benefits for both households and society, poor girls’ enrolment rates are lower than for boys in almost all countries with the exception of Bangladesh. In general, larger sized households tend to be poorer than smaller ones, and the poorest households have higher dependency ratios. These ratios refer to nonworking age members, such as children aged 0-14 years and the elderly aged over 60 years, who need to be supported by a household’s working members. Of course, these intra household associations are governed by many other dynamic and complex links.
