Sociology question D9

Drawing on your readings from this week, please discuss gender gap in education. In your discussion, please focus on the global picture and reflect on the benefits of closing the educational gender gap. You can focus on availability of formal education and access to it, representation of women in the STEM fields, practical training and skills that improve job prospects, etc., etc., but please make sure to discuss the benefits of reducing the gender gap to both individuals and society at large.
