An educated mother, on the other hand, has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices.She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children, ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance.The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls, as well as of boys, will be educated and healthy.The vicious circle is thus transformed into a good circle.
Few will disagree with it that educating women has great social benefits.But it has huge economic advantages as well.Most obviously, there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers.Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each extra year of schooling.Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments, but they are just the beginning.Educating women also has an important influence on health practices, including family planning.
