What is 2.morales - 2025 - Flooding The Brains-Natural Disasters, Student Outcomes and The Urban Rural Gap in Human Capital about?

This paper examines the impact of natural disasters, specifically heavy rainfall in Colombia during 2010, on educational outcomes for urban and rural students. It finds that rural students experience significant negative effects, including increased dropout rates and decreased learning, while urban students remain largely unaffected. The study highlights the persistent urban-rural gap in human capital and suggests that natural disasters exacerbate educational inequalities in developing countries.
