Education Language and Youth Entrepreneurship in Chad
研究了乍得教育语言(阿拉伯语或法语)对青年自雇概率的影响,发现阿拉伯语教育背景的青年更可能自雇,但多集中于非正式微型企业,为政策制定者提供参考。
This study aims to assess the effect of education language (Arabic or French) on the probability of being self-employed in Chad. Mainly, we make use of a recursive bivariate Probit model and matching techniques to assess the effect, as well as to remedy to the endogeneity problem. Overall the analysis suggests that youths with Arabic-language education are more likely to be self-employed, however, most of them specialise in modest informal micro-enterprises. These results can help to shed light on the education language implications, and then, can help policymakers to design appropriate policies to foster youth entrepreneurship in Chad.
