    This article examines the role of education and family background on age at marriage, age at first birth, and age at labor market entry for young Senegalese women. We use a multiple-equation framework that allows us to account for the endogeneity that arises from the simultaneity of the four decisions that we model. Our results highlight the importance of a woman’s own education in delaying marriage and that the relationship between her education…

After reviewing existing models, their translation into action and their limitations in this regard, the paper introduces a new policy framework based on the Capability Approach. In particular, we introduce a new measure of functioning and capabilities. We investigate ways of measuring the ga…
