This is the blog of a Norwegian (Marianne, aka 'M') who moved to Australia in 2007 to be with Roger (aka R) and feels lucky to have escaped a comparatively communistic country with ridiculous weather!
The Girl EffectPosted in 'Random stuff' on July 30, 2010
| A woman or girl will reinvest 90% of her income into her family. A man will reinvest 30-40% |
| Research in developing countries has shown the children of educated women are healthier, and are more likely to be in school themselves |
| An extra year of secondary school raises a girl's lifetime wages by 15-25% |
| When girls have received 7 or more years of education, they marry 4 years later and have 2.2 fewer children |
| For every developmental dollar spent, girls receive less than two cents |
