- Summary:
- We evaluate the effects of teaching negotiation skills to adolescent girls in economically vulnerable compounds in Lusaka, Zambia ten years later. Treated participants complete 0.23 more years of education. Consistent with greater relational empowerment, they also begin sexual activity later, have smaller age gaps with their husbands, and express less traditional gender attitudes. Using a surrogate approach, social benefits and costs from increased education alone suggest the intervention generated 6.6 dollars for every dollar spent and had a very high marginal value of public funds of 9.0.
