Cover Story: Women’s education and empowerment are crucial for household welfare, yet in Ghana and Uganda, findings show that while both male and female education levels improve outcomes like child labor, school enrollment, and nutrition, female education alone does not enhance household bargaining power. Education positively impacts welfare but does not automatically shift dynamics within families. These insights highlight the need for complementary policies, such as better labor market access and legal protections, to strengthen women’s empowerment. Further research with longitudinal data could provide a deeper understanding, especially in light of recent global shifts affecting gender dynamics and economic stability. View this paper
