The Gender Gap in Education in Eritrea in 1991-1998 : A Missed Opportunity? / Joshua Comenetz, Ales Bulir, Zuzana Brixiova.

The gender gap appears to be linked to lower female teacher participation and limited employment opportunities. The widening of the gender gap is likely to have a long-term negative impact on both economic growth and poverty reduction. Mode of access: Internet Brixiova, Zuzana. Bulir, Ales.
