Does a mother’s level of education impact that of her children? Motivated by gender disparities in Malawi’s educational landscape, this paper aims to answer this question through three identification strategies: with 2013 Malawi survey data, Ordinary Least Squares, Propensity Score Matching and Instrumental Variable methods are used to analyse the extent of the relationship between the education of women and that of their children. In the Instrumental Variable models, distance to secondary school is used as an instrument for mother’s years of education, resulting in an estimated impact of 0.314 years of education per additional year of mother’s education.
