ABSTRACT
The aim of the paper is to analyze the factors that affect education demand
with regard to gender differences and determine main determinants of education
demand. In this study, beyond the relation between education and
welfare, by showing the effect of demographic and socio-psychological
characteristics of the households on education demand, it is expected to
contribute to the development of education policy. The data is taken from
Turkish Statistical Institute’s Household Budget Survey for 2014 and policy
recommendations are developed by comparing the results of ordered probit
model with marginal effects with the findings in literature.
