Gender Inequality in Education and its Impact on Economic Growth in Algeria: An Applied Study for the Period (1980-2014) Year of publication: 2017 Author: Latifa Al-Sabti | Taleb Warrad Corporate author: University of Jordan Most of the developing countries suffer from gender inequality in education, health, employment opportunities, wages and opportunities of representation and political empowerment. It was found that this inequality - according to the findings of most previous studies on this topic- had a negative effect on economic growth. As economic growth is one of the important macroeconomic goals, this has induced the researcher to investigate the relationship between them in Algeria. This study aimed mainly at investigating the impact of gender inequality in education on the economic growth in Algeria, using annual data covering the period from 1980 to 2014, in order to achieve this objective, an econometric model has been designed based on the economic theories and the published researches, using data obtained from the World Bank's (WB) and UNESCO websites. The Results of the econometric analysis showed the existence of significant positive relationship between gender inequality in secondary education and economic growth in Algeria (which means that there is a gender equality in secondary education enrollment according to the definition of Gender Parity Index), and the existence of a negative significant relationship between gender inequality in primary education and economic growth in Algeria (which means that there is a gender inequality in primary education enrollment according to the definition of Gender Parity Index), also showed the presence of a positive significant relationship between each of the trade openness, physical capital and economic growth, and the presence of a negative significant relationship between labor supply and economic growth in Algeria. The study recommended the need of Algeria to work on the elimination of the causes of gender inequality in education, or at least minimizing them as much as possible because of their negative impact on economic growth, and supporting the educational system through the construction of new schools in rural and urban areas, the paving of roads to facilitate access of pupils safely to schools, equipping schools with the required means to complete the educational process as it should be, to spread awareness through various media of the importance of female education, to enact legislations that obligate the education of females, to encourage the demand for females in the labor market as an attempt to raise their rate of enrollment to education as a major determinant for getting a good job.

Ending Violence in Schools : An Investment Case Year of publication: 2021 Author: Quentin Wodon | Chloë Fèvre | Chata Malé | Ada Nayihouba | Hoa Nguyen Corporate author: World Bank Preventing violence in and through school is a prerequisite for girls and boys getting the education they need and deserve, and acquiring the skills, knowledge and values that provide the foundations for strong and inclusive societies. This report demonstrates that violence in and around schools negatively impacts educational outcomes, and society pays a heavy price as a result (with an estimate of $11 trillion in lost lifetime earnings). Cost-benefit analyses suggest that implementing interventions to prevent violence in and through schools from early childhood to secondary education is a smart economic investment. Rigorously evaluated programs and policies aimed at preventing violence at different levels of the education system show that action is feasible. The benefits of investing in preventing violence in and through schools is likely to far outweigh the costs.
