Overview

Quantitative analysis finds a link between accessibility to non-formal education and educational attainment.

Key Points

  • Participation in non-formal education activities, like scouting, predicts higher educational attainment for disadvantaged children.
  • Approximately 26,000 schools and 7,000 scout halls were analyzed to determine accessibility's effect on educational outcomes.
  • The study utilized a two-stage least squares approach to establish a causal link between scouting participation and educational performance.
  • Findings may inform policies aimed at enhancing access to non-formal educational opportunities for youth in various regions.
