Afghanistan shows what investing in women’s education – or divesting – can do to an economy
New research shows that Afghan women earned 13% more for every additional year of schooling they received after the Taliban fell in 2001. That progress is now in peril.

🌍 As countries grow wealthier, public spending rises 📈
While education spending stays steady at ~5% across income levels, social protection spending varies widely:
🔹Poorest countries: 1.5%
🔹Richest countries: 13%
This spending gap fuels inequality.
