Given the gender-equality paradox, this might not be as good a thing as it seems.
Could you expand on that a bit? This gender equality paradox is new to me, and I read it’s a disputed finding on worse gender inequalities in nations that are typically perceived as more progressive when it comes to gender equality. Leaving the dispute aside for a bit and assuming this is a straight up observed scientific that’s actually real, I don’t really see how a larger than expected gender inequality in, say, Denmark, makes higher rates of education in another nation a bad thing. Not saying it isn’t, just saying this line of thinking is new to me, and I’m not able to find the link just yet.
