Investments in girls and women need to be scaled up substantially in response to this and other recent crises and, looking ahead, to alleviate demographic stresses and harness demographic opportunities for growth. This is the case because the fate of women and girls, especially in low-income countries and low-income households, is closely linked to the economic prospects of these countries and these households.CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS FOR WOMENACCESS TO QUALITY REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO RURAL SERVICESADOLESCENTADOLESCENT FERTILITYADOLESCENT HEALTHADOLESCENT PREGNANCYADOLESCENT REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHADOLESCENTSADULT MORTALITYAGEDAGINGAGING POPULATIONSAGRICULTURAL INCOMESAGRICULTURAL INPUTSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTURAL SECTORARMED CONFLICTBASIC REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHBASIC REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICESCASH CROPSCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMSCASH TRANSFERSCHILD CARECHILD DEVELOPMENTCHILD LABORCHILDBIRTHCOMMERCIAL CREDITCOMPLICATIONSCRIMEDEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITIONDEMOGRAPHIC TRENDSDEPENDENCY RATIOSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCEEARLY CHILDBEARINGECONOMIC EMPOWERMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMENECONOMIC RESOURCESECONOMIC SHOCKSELDERLYEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMENEMPOWERING WOMENEPIDEMICEQUITABLE ACCESSEX-COMBATANTSFAMILIESFAMILY PLANNINGFAMILY PLANNING PROGRAMSFAMILY PLANNING SERVICESFAMILY SUPPORTFEEDING PROGRAMSFEMALE SCHOOLINGFEMALE WORKERSFERTILITYFERTILITY RATEFERTILITY RATESFEWER CHILDRENFOOD PRODUCTIONFOOD SECURITYGAP BETWEEN GIRLSGENDERGENDER DIMENSIONSGENDER EQUALITYGENDER EQUALITY ISSUESGENDER GAPSGENDER INEQUALITIESGENDER INEQUALITYGENDER MAINSTREAMINGGENDER PARITYGENDER ROLESGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGYNECOLOGYHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE PROVIDERSHEALTH NEEDSHIGH CHILD MORTALITYHIVHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD VULNERABILITYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUSBANDSILLNESSINCOMEINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFANT MORTALITY RATESINFORMAL SECTORINTERVENTIONLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET PROGRAMSLABOR MARKETSLABOUR ORGANIZATIONLIFE EXPECTANCYLIVE BIRTHSLOW FERTILITYLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITYMATERNAL MORTALITY RATEMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALSMORTALITY RISKSMOTHERMOTHER-TO-CHILDMOTHER-TO-CHILD HIV TRANSMISSIONNEEDS OF ADOLESCENTSNUMBER OF CHILDRENNUMBER OF WOMENNUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTATIONOLD-AGEOLDER MENOLDER WOMENOPPORTUNITIES FOR WOMENPENSIONSPERINATAL MORBIDITYPOLICY BRIEFPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY RESEARCH WORKING PAPERPOORPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR MATERNAL HEALTHPOVERTY POVERTYPOVERTY REDUCTIONPREGNANCIESPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPREMATURE ADULT MORTALITYPRENATAL CAREPREVENTION EFFORTSPRIMARY SCHOOLPRODUCTIVITYPROGRESSPSYCHOSOCIAL SUPPORTPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSRAPEREDUCING MATERNAL MORTALITYREPRODUCTIVE HEALTHROLE OF WOMENRURALRURAL DEVELOPMENTSAFETY NETSAFETY NETSSAVINGSSECONDARY SCHOOLSERVICES FOR ADOLESCENTSSEXSEXUAL ABUSESEXUAL ABUSE OF WOMENSKILLED ATTENDANCESKILLED HEALTH PROVIDERSOCIAL SECTORSSTATUS OF WOMENTARGETINGTEENTEEN PREGNANCIESTEENAGE MOTHERSTEENAGE PREGNANCYUNITED NATIONSUNIVERSAL PRIMARY EDUCATIONUNMARRIED MENURBAN AREASUSE OF MATERNAL HEALTH SERVICESVIOLENCEVIOLENCE AGAINST WOMENVULNERABILITYWARWARSWOMEN FARMERSWORKFORCEWORKING-AGE POPULATIONWORKING-AGE POPULATIONSWORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATIONYOUNG ADULTYOUNG MENYOUNG PEOPLEYOUNG WOMENYOUTHWorld Bank10.1596/10168
