The Effect of Education Expenditure on Adolescent Fertility Rates

2022-11 , Amazan, Isadorah , Weji, Hana

This paper analyzes the relationship between education expenditure and the adolescent fertility rate through a cross-country analysis of 169 countries. The other factors that this paper will consider are life expectancy at birth, national income per capita, health expenditure, income inequality, and contraceptive prevalence. In addition to discovering a significant negative correlation between education expenditure and the adolescent fertility rate, we expect to use these results to justify the expansion of government spending on education expenses in countries with high adolescent fertility.
