  • Household Structure and Child Education in Cambodia
    International Journal of Population Studies RESEARCH ARTICLE Household structure and child education in Cambodia Patrick Heuveline* and Savet Hong California Center for Population Research (CCPR), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Abstract: We analyze the effects of household structure on education in Cambodia. Consistent evidence documents that residence with both biological parents benefits children’s education in Western countries. Elsewhere, the issue is gaining more attention with the growing number of “left-behind children” due to adult migration and, possibly, changes in family behavior. The extant record is both thinner and more contrasted, however. Controlling for the presence of grandparents and some household characteristics, we find children residing with both biological parents are more likely to be enrolled in school, in the appropriate grade for their age, and literate than those living with only one parent. The effect sizes appear comparable to those in most ARTICLE INFO Western countries, but the effects shrink or even disappear when grandparents are Received: October 9, 2017 Accepted: February 28, 2018 present. The results for children not residing with either parent are mixed, possibly Published Online: April 4, 2018 resulting from negative effects for some children and positive selection for some others. *CORRESPONDING AUTHOR Keywords: education;family demography; global/international; household structure; Patrick Heuveline California Center for Population single parents Research (CCPR) 4284 Public Affairs Bldg University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) 1.

I draw from ethnographic, life story, and visual methods following 15 months of research with ten young people. These youths lived apart from and later reunited with their mothers who moved from the Philippines to Canada to perform domestic work. Through their stories of precarity, care, and hope, participants reveal how a good life or a better life is a relational construct with shifting significations depending on their past experiences, present conditions, and hopes for the future.

  • Population and Status of Women*
    Articles Population and Status of Women* Women do not enjoy equal status with men in most respects, and play only a limited role in national socio-economic development By S. Selvaratnam* Women are not accorded equal status with men in practically all coun- tries of the world. Compared with men, women have very limited opportuni- ties in most spheres of economic and social activities (Sadik, 1986; Curtin, 1982). However, there is a close association between various aspects of women’s status or position in society and demographic patterns of fertility, mortality and migration. This association is shown to be more pronounced with regard to fertility and the social processes associated with it (United Nations, 1975). While a systematic study of the interrelations between population dyna- mics and the status of women is hampered by the absence of an unambiguous * The author of this article is S. Selvaratnam, a former Adviser (Social Planning), Ministry of Planning and Employment, Sri Lanka, and Senior Expert, ESCAP Popula- tion Division. A more detailed paper on this topic will be delivered at the ESCAP Regional Seminar on Frameworks for Population and Development Planning, which will be held at Bangkok from 6 to 10 June 1988. Asia-Pacific Population Journal, Vol. 3, No. 2 3 operational definition of “status of women”, there is some agreement regard- ing its theoretical definitions.* Yet there is no concensus regarding the social indicators to be used for establishing the ranking of the position of women vis-a-vis that of men. Consequently, it is difficult to assess accurately the status of women within a society, and more so across societies.
