Abstract

This study investigates the association between media exposure and educational attainment among women in Somalia, utilizing nationally representative data from the 2020 Somali Health and Demographic Survey. Drawing on a sample of 5,046 women aged 15–49, the study applies an Ordered Probit regression model selected for its superior fit (AIC; BIC) to assess how various forms of media engagement relate to levels of education attained. The authors found that 38.4% of women had no formal education, while only 5.7% had reached secondary or higher levels. Media exposure was generally low: 86.3% of women never read newspapers, 81.2% did not watch television, and 79.5% did not listen to the radio. Multivariate analysis indicates that women who watched television at least once a week were significantly more likely to attain higher education (β = 0.401, p 0.01), as were those who read newspapers weekly (β = 0.337, p 0.05). These highlight the positive role of media in educational advancement and point to persistent structural barriers that must be addressed to achieve equitable educational outcomes for women in Somalia.
