Economic Liberalization and Its Impact on Women and Women's Education.
Ghosh, Ratna
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v42 n2 p115-20 Jun 1996

Two immediate effects on education are privatization and budget cutbacks, which result in differential access to education for men and women and poorer educational quality. (SV)
