Investments in the Schooling and Health of Women and Men: Quantities and Returns
回顾了教育与健康的私人及社会回报，解释本世纪多数国家女性受教育年限和寿命增长超过男性的趋势，并指出社会回报支持对女性更多公共投资。
Women's years of school enrollment and health, measured by longevity, have increased by a greater amount than men's in this century in most countries.Private and social returns to schooling and health are reviewed to explain these trends in women's human capital.Sample selection bias caused by analyses of only wage earners does not appear to lower women's private returns to schooling relative to men's.Social returns to education, moreover, favor greater public investment in women than men, particularly in South and West Asia and Africa where school investments in women are much less than in men.
