  abstract = {{A}ssessments of the impact of electrification on the quality of life of households in developing countries have increased over the last decade. {O}ne aspect that has still received little attention is education and the ability of children to keep up at school. {T}he underlying hypothesis is that electrification enables children to do their homework in the evening and so keep up with their school work. {T}o this first hypothesis we add a second one, concerning the relation between access to electricity and attendance to school according to gender. {A}lthough most household tasks are carried out by the mothers, their daughters are also involved, and electrification could have a beneficial effect by making easier for girls to do their homework in the evening and easier for the mothers to help them. {W}e will check the validity of these hypotheses using a case study of 162 children attending school in a small town in northwestern {M}adagascar.},
