• Cycling to School: Increasing Secondary School Enrollment for Girls in India (2013, background): “For instance, Basu (2002) discusses the channels by which female education may increase female empowerment and reduce fertility (and improve per-child human capital investment) and notes that: “It is thus difficult not to feel that there is something about the fact of going to school or being school”
• A Gendered Assessment of Highly Skilled Emigration (2009, background): “It can also be argued that schooled women contribute more income to the household, which leads to more investment in child schooling and lower fertility rates (see among others Basu, 2002).”
