Résumé
Pour examiner l’effet de la structure familiale sur la scolarisation des enfants en Afrique
subsaharienne, nous avons utilisé une modélisation multi-niveaux pour analyser les données
des récentes enquêtes démographiques et sanitaires (DHS) dans 26 pays africains. En général,
la polygynie et la présence d’un mari dans la maison nuisent à l’éducation des enfants. Après avoir contrôlé l’éducation maternelle, les enfants des mères célibataires, jamais mariés et ceux qui
sont divorcés ou séparés ont un désavantage éducatif, ce qui suggère l’importance de l’éducation
maternelle pour les résultats scolaires des enfants. Les hommes sont plus susceptibles que les
femmes d’avoir un niveau de scolarité plus élevé, en particulier ceux des familles polygynes.
Il est recommandé que l’éducation des femmes en général et l’éducation des filles en particulier
soient encouragées afin de décourager de telles attitudes et pratiques culturelles négatives comme
la polygynie et le parti pris en faveur de l’éducation des garçons.
