Abstract:This study examines the impact of AIDS on the prevalence of orphanhood, and its implications for human capital development in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The study uses data from various demographic and health surveys, from the period 2000-2004. The author finds that there is a significant negative relationship between school enrolment and being an AIDS orphan, irrespective of gender. In addition, the evidence suggests that paternal AIDS orphans suffer more deprivation than other groups of orphans. Bibliogr., notes, sum. [Journal abstract]
