This paper examines the impact of school-age exposure to storms on education and employment outcomes in India. Using wind exposure histories, the paper shows that exposure to an average storm can cause a 2.4 percentage point increase in educational delays, a 2 percentage point drop in post-secondary education attainment, and a 1.6 percentage point decline in regular salaried employment.

The study also highlights the role of damaged school infrastructure and declining household income in driving these outcomes.
