spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/11826 Gender parity and the 'usual suspects' in South African education Schwendeman, Jennifer Development Studies Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references. It has been shown that educating girls has powerful externalities, which, if scaled, can act as a catalyst for socioeconomic development. However, there are many gender inequality factors that prohibit girls from accessing and succeeding in educational pursuits. This report explores the South African example, looking specifically at the Cape Area Panel Study, to find whether these gender inequality factors are present and if so, what effect they are having on educational outcomes. 2015-01-09T08:52:52Z 2015-01-09T08:52:52Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11826 eng application/pdf Department of Social Development Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
