Abstract
Education is an essential prerequisite in our developed society. Setting out from this premise, this thesis aims to better understand the problematic of early school leaving in Belgium (and more specifically in the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles), and suggests an original way to combat it. Indeed, using the insights of behavioral economics, we examine the potential biases at stake leading to a dropout decision and develop two nudges in order to decrease the number of young people leaving the education system without a higher secondary qualification. Those ones either directly target students or operate via the influence of parents and their experimental design is based on the concept of randomized control trial.
