Girls and Economy

Years from now, a movie called The Pregnancy Pact caused commotion in the U.S.  after showing a group of 15 year old girls had only one aspiration, get pregnant and marry their high school boyfriend, in order to be able to drop out of school and become only mothers and wives. This movie really caused an impact is it showed the existence of a still remaining par of ancient civilization’s rules. This is even worse considering the importance that the women empowerment has. Now at days around half the total working population is constituted by women. Around 66% of the average American female teenagers are enrolled into college whilst 64% of the average American teenage men are enrolled into college leaving a gap of 4% between the two genders.
Although few people actually have notion of it women economic empowerment has several benefits not only to the economy but to human rights., and to a better world itself in fact economists mostly state that:
Women’s economic empowerment – that is, their capacity to bring about economic change for themselves – is increasingly viewed as the most important contributing factor to achieving equality between the two genders.

But economically strengthening women is not only a means by which to spur economic growth, but also a matter of advancing women's human rights. When governments, businesses and communities invest in women, and when they work to eliminate inequalities, developing countries are less likely to be plagued by poverty. 

Women’s participation in the economy bring out several benefits to everyone that dares to invest on it, such as:

• Where women's participation in the labor force grew fastest, the economy experienced the largest reduction in poverty rates.
• When women farmers can access the resources they need, their production increases, making it less likely that their families are hungry and malnourished.
• When women own property and earn money from it, they may have more bargaining power at home. This in turn can help reduce their vulnerability to domestic violence and HIV infection.
   
• When women have access to time-saving technologies – such as a foot-pedaled water pump or a motorized scooter – economic benefits can follow. ICRW research has found that technology helps women increase their productivity as well as launch income-generating pursuits and entrepreneurial ventures. Those kind of outcomes empower women to become stronger leaders and to more effectively contribute financially to their families, communities and countries.
• Believe it or not  even in the world´s most modern countries there is an unequal distribution of jobs and salaries that benefit men.According to facts given out by the UN:
• For the last decade, median earnings for women working full time, year-round have been just 77% of men’s earnings. 
• The report controls for occupation, major, hours worked, parenthood, and many other factors to reveal that college-educated women working full time were paid an unexplained 7% less than their male counterparts were paid one year after graduation. Making it harder for women top ay their student loans.

When more women work, economies grow. If women’s paid employment rates were raised to the same level as men’s, the United States’ gross domestic product would be an estimated 9 per cent higher, the euro zone’s would climb by 13 per cent and Japan’s would be boosted by 16 per cent. In 15 major developing economies, per capita income would rise by 14 per cent by 2020 and 20 per cent by .
A study using data from 219 countries from 1970 to 2009 found that, for every one additional year of education for women of reproductive age, child mortality decreased by 9.5 per cent .
After watching this facts we could reach to the conclusion that:
Having women working and studying is a boost to our economy and to our world, women do have a very influential role in the world’s economy. 
Equal payments for both women, and men, are not only the fair deals but they are also good for our societies. 
Even though sometimes women diminish their capacities by only thinking of themselves as housewives, women can do greatly on the work fields.
Education for women influences even the most important aspects of our lives such as raising children and houses with women working are able to gain more and so they live better.

Patriarchal societies should allow education to all girls, and girls should always defend their right to have access to knowledge.
