Advancing the Agency of Adolescent Girls
研究印度拉贾斯坦邦一项学校生活技能项目对女孩辍学率的影响，发现该项目使辍学率下降25%，并持续到高中阶段，其中社会情感支持是关键因素。
Abstract More than 98 million adolescent girls are not in school. Can girls influence their schooling without changes in their family's economic environment? In Rajasthan, India, we examine the impact of a school-based life skills program that seeks to address low aspirations, narrow societal roles for girls and women, restricted networks of social support, and limited decision-making power. We find the intervention causes a 25% decline in school dropout that persists from seventh grade through the transition to high school. Improvements in socioemotional support among girls exposed to the intervention seem especially important in their decision to stay in school.
