The eight notes were prepared ahead of the High Level Meeting on Ending Child Marriage in West and Central Africa held in Dakar on October 23-25, 2017. Several notes in this first set look at the economic impacts of girls’ education and child marriage on a range of other development outcomes. The analysis in those notes builds on previous work prepared by the World Bank for a joint study with the International Center for Research on Women on the economic impacts of child marriage globally. The analysis of impacts in this set of notes focuses specifically on West and Central Africa and is extended to consider the impact of girls’ education as well as that of child marriage. Key results are highlighted below for each of the first eight notes individually.  Exibir menos -
