The Closing of the Gender Gap in Schooling: The Case of Thailand.
Knodel, John
Comparative Education, v33 n1 p61-86 Mar 1997
National surveys and 1990 census data in Thailand show that the gender gap in educational attainment has closed at all levels, and preferences for educating sons more than daughters have declined substantially. Rural focus groups revealed that parental views on gender and schooling are complex, and access to schooling locally has greater benefits for girls. Contains 41 references. (Author/SV)
