The Seattle Post-Intelligencer features CGD's research on girls education. The article also quotes CGD vice president for programs and operations, and senior fellow Ruth Levine.
From the article:
"Ten- to 14-year old girls should be in school, unmarried and provided a healthful environment," author Ruth Levine wrote, say marriage at a young age curtails girl's school and work aspirations and leaves them vulnerable to abuse.
At the event, Levine said a youth-heavy bulge in the populations of developing nations makes the time particularly ripe to focus on making young women contributing, visible members of their societies."
