Day 24: Global Poverty

Wednesday, March 8th is International Women's Day.
Brainstorm: By increasing women's education how would this lead to an increase in living standards in an impoverished country?
Think about issues discussed last year in SS11.
Analyze the map assignment categories (ex. how would this lead to a decrease in HIV/AIDS? Decrease in fertility rate?)
