Education, Gender, and Economic Development: A Cross-National Study.
Benavot, Aaron
Sociology of Education, v62 n1 p14-32 Jan 1989
Examines the effects of gender differences in educational expansion on national economic growth. Using cross-national data from 96 countries, the authors found that in less-developed countries, educational expansion among primary school-age girls had a stronger impact on long-term economic prosperity than did educational expansion among primary school-age boys.
