Abstract
We analyze the implications of the HIV/AIDS pandemic in Tanzania for labor markets and human capital accumulation. Over 1990-2000, we find a dramatic increase in labor force participation rates by 10-14 year olds. Over the same period, estimated education transition matrices indicate an increased tendency to exit primary school. These trends coincide with concerns about the implications of HIV/AIDS.
