| Summary: | This study analyses the determinants of key socio-economic issues of out-ofschool
children, youth and middle-aged unemployment, and older person's poverty.
These three issues are not only peculiar to households but are key components of the
United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Child schooling falls under
SDG4 (quality education), youth unemployment fall under SDG8 (decent work and
economic growth), and older person's poverty falls under SDG1 (no poverty). These
three issues were further examined to ascertain their collective impact on the
household's quality of life. Multinomial logistic regression was used to analyse child
schooling enrolment, binary logistic regression for youth and middle-aged
unemployment, and older person's poverty. General ordered logistic regression was
used to analyse the household quality of life. The study shows that access to school
improves child schooling, high cost of education leads to increased out-of-school
children, and parents with low educational attainment tend to pay little attention to
child schooling. The study shows that many youths and middle-aged household
members have no vocational training, and the more they are educated, the more their
chances of getting employed. |
