Abstract

We study the effect of private tutoring (PT) on parents' decision to work more using a sample from the Egypt Labor Market Panel Survey in 2012 and apply a semi-parametric recursive bivariate probit model to control for endogeneity. Our finding shows that PT increases father propensity to work overtime by about 2 percentage points (pp) and a father's propensity to work a secondary job by about 4 pp. The increase in mother propensity to work is significantly high where it reaches 27 pp. In the urban areas, the effect is insignificant for the father but exceeds 37 pp for the mother.
