| Research Abstract |
The importance of women's education for the social and economic development of the Third World countries has been emphasized, especially in recent years, by international and national organizations, and researchers in the fields of education and development. Recent research suggests that the economic and social returns to education for women are substantial and on the whole probably greater than those for men. However, women's educational levels are lower than men's in most societies all over the world. Most educational decision makers share the belief on ethical grounds that this educational gender gap should be eliminated. The strength of this equity argument aside, many studies of this research project have pointed out the importance of women's education for socioeconomic development.
Another main finding of this research project is that status of girls' education reflects gender situation of the society because the development of girls' education depends on cultural situation of each ethnic group and each region. And that even in a country, where the gender gap in educational enrolment is small, there exist serious qualitative problems surrounding education for girls and women compared to boys' and men's.
