Improving Education Outcomes for Girls and Young Women

• Introduction: Investing in girls’ and women’s education is crucial for expanding economic opportunities, reducing poverty, and achieving prosperity and equity. The World Bank supports resilient, fair, and accessible education systems to empower girls and women to benefit from education investments.
• Economic Impact: Restricted access to education for girls results in significant economic losses (US$15–30 trillion). Evidence-based interventions could generate US$2.4 trillion for African countries by 2040.
• Progress & Challenges: Since 2015, female school enrollment increased significantly. Global female labor force participation rose slightly (53% to 55%). Challenges include gender-based violence, child marriage (12M girls marry annually, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa and FCV areas), high dropout rates, and discrimination. Millions of girls remain out of school, especially in Low-Income Countries (LMICs) and South Asia. Learning poverty gaps persist, particularly for boys in some regions.
• Strategic Interventions: The World Bank focuses on interventions beyond attendance:
  • Early Childhood Education: Makes up to 300,000 Serbian children reach preschool, including those in poor municipalities.
  • Safe & Inclusive Schools: Provides scholarships, mentorship, menstrual hygiene management (1M girls benefited), and safe school setups.
  • Skills for Employment: Supports STEM careers, empowerment programs, and job retraining (e.g., SWEDD+ Project).
  • Second Chances: Project SEQUIP re-enrolls millions of out-of-school girls.
• STEM Gender Gap: Women represent only ~28% of the global STEM workforce, a stagnant figure for a decade. Challenges include societal structures, limited role models, exposure, career preferences, and teaching biases.
• Addressing the STEM Gap: Interventions include promoting female STEM teachers, targeted scholarships, early exposure to STEM, mentorships, inclusive learning environments, reliable electricity, and policies for women's career advancement.
• Boys' Disengagement: A growing concern; 129M boys are out of school vs. 122M girls. Boys often underperform girls, particularly in secondary education and LCR countries. Factors include labor market links, social norms, and poor schooling conditions. Interventions explored include cash transfers, remedial education, positive role models, and systemic reforms.
• Multi-Sectoral Approach & Partnerships: Collaboration internally (Gender, Social Protection, Water, Energy Departments) and externally (UNESCO, UNICEF, FCDO, UNGEI, GPE) strengthen interventions. The Learning to Empower Adolescent Girls (LEAS) scale-up initiative addresses barriers faced by adolescent girls.
• Conclusion: Quality education is vital for reducing poverty and achieving shared prosperity. Addressing barriers and leveraging multi-sectoral strategies and partnerships are essential.
