This book provides a complete understanding of the evidence on why girls’ education matters, as well as what works in educating girls. It presents easy and accessible information gleaned from hundreds of studies on girls’ education and is targeted towards academic researchers, experts on education, nongovernmental organization staff members, policymakers, and journalists. However, it is also accessible for any reader who wants to better understand the issues and help draw attention to the need for high-quality education for girls across the globe.

Hard-headed evidence on why the returns from investing in girls are so high that no nation or family can afford not to educate their girls.

Gene Sperling, author of the seminal 2004 report published by the Council on Foreign Relations, and Rebecca Winthrop, director of the Center for Universal Education, have written this definitive book on the importance of girls' education. As Malala Yousafzai expresses in her foreword, the idea that any child could be denied an education due to poverty, custom, the law, or terrorist threats is just wrong and unimaginable. More than 1,000 studies have provided evidence that high-quality girls' education around the world leads to wide-ranging returns:

Better outcomes in economic areas of growth and incomes

Reduced rates of infant and maternal mortality

Reduced rates of child marriage

Eeduced rates of the incidence of HIV/AIDS and malaria

Increased agricultural productivity

Increased resilience to natural disasters

Women's empowerment

What Works in Girls' Education is a compelling work for both concerned global citizens, and any academic, expert, nongovernmental organization (NGO) staff member, policymaker, or journalist seeking to dive into the evidence and policies on girls' education.
