Study finds women need family planning data for economic stability.(Originated from Knight-Ridder Newspapers)
WASHINGTON _ The women of the world would be $11 trillion richer if they received wages equal to their male counterparts _ and were compensated for the millions of hours of unpaid labor they perform.
But unless more women in developing countries have access to family planning information and contraception, they will continue to have numerous children they cannot support, further weakening global economic stability.
Those conclusions were reached in two reports released this week, just two weeks before history's largest international women's meeting, in Beijing.
One report, by the United Nations Development Programme, suggests that American women's notable progress is eclipsed by huge global inequities for women, especially in economics and politics.
The other report from the Alan Guttmacher Institute concludes that worldwide, more than 230 million women of reproductive age _ one in six _ lack access to effective contraception or voluntary sterilization, and they almost always have more children than they want or can afford.
