Foreign Aid in Education and Gender Equality in Developing Countries

---

Résumé

This paper examines the impact of foreign aid on gender equality in education
outcomes in developing countries. Heterogeneity effects by type of aid received
and by type of recipients are investigated using system GMM methods. The results
indicate that aggregate aid disbursements to the education sector negatively affect
gender parity in enrolment at the secondary and tertiary education levels and have
no impact on gender parity in primary education. No impact of subsector specific aid
was found. Heterogeneity in aid recipient type does not seem to matter. The same
goes for heterogeneity in aid flow
