| Abstract | The article ... discusses how education relates to poverty and inequality and the fact that deprivation of education itself represents a form of poverty.... The paper analyses the relationship between attainment and poverty at the country level for the region and at the household level for India, and concludes that there is ample evidence that the children of the poor have lower educational opportunities to participate in school and progress through the education system. Using data from household surveys the article examines the reasons why children are not enrolled in school, concluding that lack of interest of parents and financial constraints are the main barriers.... . The author concludes that exaggerated emphasis has been placed on opportunity costs of schooling (or simply child labour) as a factor of the non-enrolment of poor children in schools. At the same time, the article demonstrates that there are significant direct costs of school participation, including tuition fees paid in public "free" primary schools, school supplies and transportation costs, which are more important barriers than the labour income families forgo when children attend school.
