This is a very important issue for developing countries in particular. In developed countries, you should all be aware that there are now more female college students and graduates than males, and the percentage of females in higher education has been rising for decades.
Countries that create better opportunities and conditions for women and girls can raise productivity, improve outcomes for children, make institutions more representative, and advance development prospects for all,” the bank said.
