Tropics, Income, and School Life Expectancy: An Intercountry Study.

Ram, Rati

Economics of Education Review, v18 n2 p253-58 Apr 1999

Using UNESCO's recent data, explores effects of a country's income and "tropicality" on school life expectancy. Although income's effect is important, distance from the equator also matters. Effects of tropicality were larger in 1980 than in 1992. Implications are discussed. (13 references) (MLH)
