Afghanistan shows what investing in women’s education – or divesting – can do to an economy
New research shows that Afghan women earned 13% more for every additional year of schooling they received after the Taliban fell in 2001. That progress is now in peril.

🌍 As countries grow wealthier, public spending rises 📈 While education spending stays steady at ~5% across income levels, social protection spending varies widely: 🔹Poorest countries: 1.5% 🔹Richest countries: 13% This spending gap fuels inequality. Check 2024 #inequalitydata on wid.world.
