Effects of Public Expenditure on Education on Gender Inequality in Education in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA)
Review of Education, v11 n2 Article e3398 Aug 2023
The study examines the effect of public education expenditures on gender inequality in education in sub-Saharan Africa. It covers 25 countries in sub-Saharan Africa for the period 2010-2019. The generalised method of moments was used. The estimator developed by Blundell and Bond was chosen. The following results are found: (i) public expenditure on education has a positive effect on gender equality in education at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels; (ii) remittances have a negative effect on gender equality in education at the primary, secondary and tertiary levels; (iii) population growth has a negative effect on gender equality in education at the primary and tertiary levels, but at the secondary level, the effect is positive. The main political implication is that sub-Saharan African countries must continue to invest in inclusive school to ensure gender equality, which remains a goal to be achieved in the region.
