dc.description.abstractChild marriage is a universa! phenomenon closely related to gender inequality. However, the causes and effects of this practice vary across regions and cultures. This thesis uses datafrom Young Lives (2002-2014) (n=459 females) and MICS (2014) (n=6,969 females) to study the determinants and consequences of child marriage among girls in Viet Nam. A quantitative approach is employed. Using logistic regression models, the paper finds that household size is a significant predictor of child marriage and that child marriage is strongly linked to early childbearing and child mortality. This approach also allows us to estimate how socioeconomic and demographic characteristics of a household affect the age at birth of a mother and the mortality of her child. These findings are important because they help us understand the real drivers of child marriage, early birth and child mortality in Viet Nam. Tuis information is useful for policy makers seeking to design programs to eradicate the practice. Key words: child marriage, early birth, child mortality, gender inequality, Viet Namen_US
