Abstract | The main objective of the thesis is to measure the impact of interethnic marriages on the educational performance of children between 7 and 22 years old using probit model. The study employs data from the 2009 Population and Housing Census of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to investigate the interethnic marriages effect on the educational performance of children. By using probit model, we found that interethnic marriages have positive effects on the educational attainment of children in Vietnam. These effects decrease along with the age of the child. Children with Kinh parents tend to have a lower disability than children with ethnic minorities parents. |
