TL;DR: Findings show that education for girls is unnecessary since they only need to work at home and policies that raise household incomes will increase gender equity in schooling, which will also depend on whether and how these policies change the opportunity costs of girls and boys and the labor market returns to female and male schooling.

TL;DR: The authors examined the determinants of labor force participation for men and women in Guinea for three sectors and for earnings and found that men were engaged almost equally in all three sectors while women were mostly engaged in self-employment.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate a discrete choice model of primary schooling and simulate policy alternatives for rural Madagascar and highlight the negative impacts on schooling demand of poor facility quality and the use of multigrade teaching (several grades being taught simultaneously by one teacher).

TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that the demand for girls' schooling is often more responsive than boys' to gender neutral changes in school distance, price, and quality, patterns which can be explained in a human capital investment model through assumptions about girls' and boys' schooling costs and returns.

TL;DR: Two other common perceptions about VCT in Africa are assessed: that a policy of promoting couples-oriented VCT would be more successful than one emphasizing individual testing and that VCT demand and prevention impacts will be enhanced where scaling up is accompanied by the provision of antiretroviral drugs.
