The present study is an attempt to empirically analyze the role of
household characteristics in demand for education. The demand for
education is separately analyzed for three levels of education, i.e.,
school (class 10 and below), college (class 11 to 14) and university
(above class 14) levels. The dependent variable is categorized into five
groups (none enrolled, at most 25% enrolled, above 25% and at most
50% enrolled, above 50% and at most 75% enrolled and at least 75%
enrolled among the targeted age group) and it takes the form of
categorical limited dependent variable. We found that education of
head, number of educated earners and proportion of males in
targeted age group had in general positive impact on demand for
education for all levels of education. Household size had negative
effect on demand for education. The study further found that income
does not explain variations in the demand for education.
