    Factors that contribute to gender inequality in higher education include location, socioeconomic status, the role of teachers, differences in student interests, and student background. This can lead to implications at the individual level like lower career achievement, at the family level through reduced household contributions, and at the community and country levels through issues like lower fertility rates and gender stereotyping in certain fields. Overall, a lack of equal access to higher education can negatively impact individuals, families, communities, and the overall development of a country.

    daughters of participating on an equal
