Eliminating discrimination against women in economic and social life with a focus on economic crisis 2014, para. 38
Paragraph
Paragraph text
While educational gender parity shows signs of improvement, it is often not reflected in parallel gains in economic and political participation. Amongst countries that have invested in girls' education, some see returns in terms of women's economic and political participation, but others do not. These countries have an untapped educated talent pool and would have much to gain through women's greater participation in the economy.
