Zusammenfassung:
Using survival analysis, this paper investigates student- and household-level factors that affect the hazard and incidence of exits of college-age students who have ever been enrolled in college. The paper has limitations since it focuses only on school attendance, the closest available indicator of enrollment patterns and, thus, attrition. Despite this, results offer insights into the covariates affecting the hazard and incidence of exits. The paper 1) provides some directions to address the issue arising from individual- and household-level vulnerabilities and 2) suggests ways to improve the data needed to reflect the success and performance of the HEI ecosystem accurately.
