Download or read book Women s Education in Developing Countries written by Elizabeth M. King and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 1997-07-01 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do women in most developing countries lag behind men in literacy? Why do women get less schooling than men? This anthology examines the educational decisions that deprive women of an equal education. It assembles the most up-to-date data, organized by region. Each paper links the data with other measures of economic and social development. This approach helps explain the effects different levels of education have on womens' fertility, mortality rates, life expectancy, and income. Also described are the effects of women's education on family welfare. The authors look at family size and women's labor status and earnings. They examine child and maternal health, as well as investments in children's education. Their investigation demonstrates that women with a better education enjoy greater economic growth and provide a more nurturing family life. It suggests that when a country denies women an equal education, the nation's welfare suffers. Current strategies used to improve schooling for girls and women are examined in detail. The authors suggest an ambitious agenda for educating women. It seeks to close the gender gap by the next century. Published for The World Bank by The Johns Hopkins University Press.

Download or read book Higher Education and the Reproductive Life Course written by Sarbani Banerjee and published by Rozenberg Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the impact of higher educational attainment on the changing lives of women, both at the individual and the societal level. The study focusses on the cross-cultural contexts in one of the states in South India and the Netherlands. Karnataka in the recent times is experiencing fertility transition while the Netherlands has already achieved fertility transition. The two cultural contexts are both diverse and unique in character. The author explores both the uniqueness as well as the similarities, hence studying the impact of higher education on the changing lives of women as a continuum across cultures and societies. Changes at the individual level are captured by distinguishing women into older and younger generations, while changes at the societal level are captured through social change. At the individual level, we distinguish between the 'lived' life course and the 'perceived' life course. At the societal level we focus on how higher educational attainment has enhanced women's position in the society. The study uses secondary data from the National Family Health Survey (1998-1999) for the state of Karnataka and the Netherlands Family Fertility Survey (OG 98). In addition to the secondary data, in-depth interviews were also conducted amongst women in Bangalore and Groningen.

Download or read book The Economics of Women Higher Education Through Distance Learning in India written by Ajit Kumar Pandey and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Higher education has largely been kept out of the benevolent support from the government and lesser cost effective. When it comes to Higher education for woman, it becomes even more regressive since it is often been judged in terms of social security, higher opportunity cost and comparatively more restrictive mobility of woman to undergo learning at far off Academic Centre. The plight of the women of a developing nation can be understood with the fact that there exists significantly higher rate of drop-outs at the level of higher education. For example the drop-out rates in primary, elementary and secondary level are 26.45%, 49.95% and 61.74% respectively in the year 2005-06. (GOI 2005-06). In 2008-09 however these rates are reduced to 24.93% in primary level, and 42.5% in the elementary level. The PESTLE analysis of Higher Education for Women though appears to be bright however; the current situation in many countries including India is not so encouraging and eventually, attracts the attention of policy makers, academicians and thinkers towards the philanthropy of Distance Education System. In order to achieve fuller utilization of the potential of Distance Education System specifically and continuing non-conventional education in general, it is felt significant to understand the economics of distance education. Through this paper, an attempt is been made to track the Economics of Higher Education through Distance Education that can be proved to be boon for working scholars and women who have little access to education after a certain level.

Download or read book Gendering the Massification Generation written by Emily F. Henderson and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-01-10 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gendering the Massification Generation examines why young people from the same families and communities in India experience different decision-making processes regarding higher education access because of their gender. In India and other contexts where higher education is massifying, and gender parity of enrolment has been reached at undergraduate level, there are still many questions to be asked about gender and access to higher education. Based on an exploratory study of gendered higher education access and choice within the state of Haryana, India, the authors explore gender inequalities of higher education access and choice in the Indian context and connect this with the broader international phenomenon of widening participation. Through an in-depth analysis of the ‘massification generation’, where young people from relatively disadvantaged backgrounds are accessing higher education, often for the first time in their families and communities, readers are encouraged to apply a lens of social disadvantage and gender, and to recognise the norms and transgressions of femininity and masculinity in relation to higher education access and choice. With global implications for the ways in which gender is analysed and framed in widening participation research and policy, this is the ideal book for scholars, students and policy makers working on higher education, as well as researchers and NGOs specialising in gender, school-to-higher education transitions, international development, sociology and area studies.
