Abstract

Refugee girls are one of the most marginalized groups in the world when it comes to school participation, with girls half as likely to enroll in secondary school as their male peers. Gender disparities can be made worse by conflict and displacement and increase as children get older. As many low- and middle-income host countries move toward more inclusive models of refugee education, its critical to identify barriers that may differentially limit refugee girls inclusion. This paper uses two unique household surveys in Ethiopia to examine household and community factors shaping participation in secondary school.
