Every year, an estimated one in four girls drops out of high school — and the rates are even worse for girls of color.

Female dropouts face particularly steep economic consequences. As compared to their male peers, female dropouts have higher rates of unemployment, earn significantly lower wages, and are more likely to need to rely on public support programs to provide for their families. http://www.nwlc.org/dropout

  • how can it be worse for girls then boys? boys are people aswell

    boys who drop out most times get a job that involves more risk then the jobs that girls get thats why men make more then women

    why is your only concern women?

    government helps women a hell of alot more then men we need to stop this focus on just girls and do whats best for all children

    remember boys are children aswell not just girls
