In all countries worldwide, whether females increase schooling from 10 years to 11, say, or two years to three, infant mortality declines, according to a recent study by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.

  • Especially for girls and young women,  access to family planning, to contraception, to education and to the formal labour market is crucial not only for improving their own living conditions, but also in terms of demographic dynamics.
  • improving women’s access to the formal labour market as well as to health care and education is particularly important, as investments in these areas are likely to lead to later marriages, less teenage pregnancies and more stable family structures.

    With some two billion people living in poverty, without clean water and sanitation or access to schooling and healthcare, it's clear that development has to work better to improve people's lives. The Forth High-level Forum in Busan aims to make that happen.
