Table 1.
Key outcomes and inclusion criteria.
| Outcome | Outcome indicator | Sample inclusion criteria |
|---|---|---|
| Education | Currently in school (binary) | 5–18 years |
| At the appropriate grade for their age (binary) | 5–18 years, in school | |
| Completed years of education (continuous) | 5–60 years, no longer in school | |
| Labor market | Currently employed (binary) | ≤60 years, not in school |
| Job is full-time & salaried (binary) | ≤60 years, not in school, currently employed | |
| Marriage | Early marriage (married before the age of 15) (binary) | Any age, married at least once |
| Currently married (binary) | >30 years | |
| Age at first marriage (continuous) | >30 years, married at least once |
Notes: For labor market outcomes, we include all individuals who are no longer in school (as opposed to limiting to individuals above age 18) so that younger individuals—who are more likely to live in the same household—are included in the analysis. The youngest person employed or employed in a full-time job is 10 years old. The findings do not change substantively when we limit the analysis to individuals above the age of 18. We include individuals of all ages when the outcome is ‘early marriage’. The lowest age at which an individual has been married in the sample is 10 years and the oldest married individual in the sample is 96 years old.
