    Abstract: Using a recent household survey for two cohorts of married women, this paper examines norms about gender equality in education for children and adults. Among the main findings are that gender education gap norms have changed: younger generations of women are more positive about female vs. male education, both as pertaining to child and adult education outcomes. Perhaps the strongest result is that Bangladeshi women are more likely to espouse attitudes of gender equality in education for their children and less so about gender equality among spouses. It is also easier to explain norms regarding children's education and more difficult to explain norms about equality in marriages. The authors believe that question on relative education of boys and girls captures the value of education per se, while the question on educational equality in marriage captures the norms regarding marriage and the relative worth of husbands and wives. The effect of education in determining norms is significant though complex, and spans own and spousal education, as well as that of older females in the household. This indicates sharing of education norms effects or externalities arising from spousal education in the production of gender education gap norms within marriage as well as arising from the presence of older educated females in the household. Lastly, the authors also find associations between gender education gap norms and household poverty, information processing and religion, though the evidence here is more mixed

    Building Human Capital : Lessons from Country Experiences - Ghana (2020)

    Abstract: Ghana has made deliberate efforts to invest in health and education in the last 60 years, which has resulted in substantial gains in both economic growth and human capital outcomes. This case study examines the recent human capital developments in Ghana in the context of the World Bank's Human Capital Index, launched in 2018. First, it identifies the two components that have been key drivers of the Ghana's improving HCI scores in recent years, namely childhood stunting and enrollment rates. The study then goes on to identify the specific policies and programs in Ghana that are probable contributors to the favorable developments in childhood stunting and enrollment rates with the aim of enabling policymakers in other countries to learn from what worked and what did not work in Ghana as they embark on their own national journeys to build human capital. In so doing, the paper deliberately focuses on multisectoral initiatives. The report finds that some of Ghana's most successful programs and policies have included strong elements of a whole of government approach, involving not just either the health or education sectors but frequently both, as well as other sectors, such as agriculture and WASH (water, sanitation, and hygiene). These successful programs and policies include the Ghana School Feeding Program (GSFP); the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) (especially in the beginning as sustainability has increasingly become an issue in later years); water and sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) activities; Free Compulsory Universal Basic Education (FCUBE), including the innovative financing provided by the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund), and adult literacy programs
