We show that the Poincar¨¦ polynomial associated with the orbifold cell decomposition of the moduli space of smooth algebraic curves with distinct marked points satisfies a topological recursion formula of the Eynard-Orantin type. The recursion uniquely determines the Poincar¨¦ polynomials from the initial data. Our key discovery is that the Poincar¨¦ polynomial is the Laplace transform of the number of Grothendieck¡¯s dessins d¡¯enfants.
