WHY ARE GIRLS LESS LIKELY TO HAVE A
SCHOOL LIFE?
Education improve above all the educating, particulary girls has the
greatest impact on eliminating poverty. Studies show that an extra year
of secondary schooling for girls can increase their future wages by 10%
to 20%, because education is a powerful driver of development and one of
the strangest instruments for improving the qualities of people.
The Education have HAS great impact because IT giveS a lot of power to
women and girls it´s also smart economics and vital to ending poverty
and boosting prosperity of both sexes. The evidence shows that resources
in the hands of women boost household spending that benefit children.
We can achieve gender equality by:
Educating girls.
Increasing literacy rates among women.
Increasing early childhood development interventions.
Increasing women’s labor force participation and strengthening labor
policies affecting women.
Improving women’s access to credit, land and other resources .
Promoting women’s political rights and participation.
Expanding reproductive health programs and family support policies.
As unschooled adults, these girls will be less likely to have a say
socially and politically and to be able to support they THEM. Women’s
rights and access to land, credit and education are limited not only due
to legal discrimination, but because more subtle barriers such as their
work load, mobility and low bargaining position in the household and
community prevent them from taking advantage of their legal rights.
These problems affect their children: Women earn only one tenth of the
world’s income and own less than one per cent of property, so households
without a male head are at special risk of impoverishment.
