Do rural roads create pathways out of poverty? Evidence from India (2018, background): “For instance, Progresa from Mexico has been very successful at promoting enrollment (Schultz, 2004) Policy-makers would also need to ensure that these gains are well-understood.”
The effect of a large expansion of pre-primary school facilities on preschool attendance and maternal employment (2004, background): “particularly in Latin America, are based on this presumption (see, for example, Schultz, 2001 ).”

Cash transfers, conditions, school enrollment, and child work: evidence from a randomized experiment in Ecuador (2006, background): “A simple average of the PROGRESA program effects for all grades reported in Schultz (2004) suggests a “mean” effect of 3.5 percentage points on enrollment, with the largest effect, 11.1 percentage points, among children enrolled in grade 6, the last year of primary.”
Family Networks and School Enrolment: Evidence from a Randomized Social Experiment (2007, background): “The TTE estimate implies eligibles have a 7.8% increase in their secondary enrolment rate compared to eligibles in control villages, which is similar in magnitude to the previously documented program effects [Schultz 2004].”
Evaluating the Relationship Between Student Attendance and Achievement in Urban Elementary and Middle Schools (2010, background): “Previous studies on this relationship between geographic distance and school attendance confirm this relationship both at the K-12 level (Schlossberg, Greene, Phillips, Johnson & Parker, 2006; Schultz, 2004; Jensen & Nielsen, 1997) and for college students (Frenette, 2004).”
