Abstract: Using instrumental variable method and Vietnam Access to Resources Household Surveys of 2008-16, I examine the effect of land fragmentation on child outcomes. The study shows that higher land fragmentation decreases child school dropout. Land fragmentation has significant impacts on school dropout of children aged 10-15, however, it does not have any impact on school dropout of children aged 6-10. I explain these findings through one particular mechanism—that is women empowerment.
