Research question
How do recurrent floods intersect with unequal educational opportunities?
Method and context
Semi-structured household interviews in five areas, November 2023, typically lasting 1.5–2 hours; qualitative comparison across wealth and flood exposure.
Study summary
Household accounts connect repeated flooding, interrupted work and schooling. The paper develops conceptual pathways of unequal opportunity rather than estimating a causal treatment effect.
Findings
Poor flooded households report unsafe school travel, additional transport costs and income interruptions; wealthier households describe stronger buffers.
Contribution
Connects education continuity with household recovery and intergenerational disadvantage.
Interpretation limits
Authors acknowledge limited generalizability from a small qualitative sample; individual transcripts are restricted by consent.
A question for further research
Project proposal: test inclusive school-access and livelihood-support options in a provincial flood exercise.
A starting point for a study design: extend the literature search, specify methods and outcomes, and assess ethics requirements for the data and participants.
