Women's Safety, Education, & Low Workforce Participation
Safety constraints, uneven schooling, and norms keep women out of paid work and public life.
Women’s participation stays low when safety, schooling, unpaid care work, and weak enforcement all push the same direction — out of public life and paid work.
What keeps this stuck
- Patriarchal mobility controls and real safety risks in public space
- Status norms where paid work is seen as a negative symbol, not aspiration
- Crushing burden of unpaid domestic and care work
- Sanitation gaps, dropout, and degrees that don’t translate to jobs
- Low conviction rates for violence and harassment
