It has been shown that educating girls has powerful externalities, which, if scaled, can act as a catalyst for socioeconomic development.

This report explores the South African example, looking specifically at the Cape Area Panel Study, to find whether these gender inequality factors are present and if so, what effect they are having on educational outcomes.
