That's exactly what I said. It takes a longish time but by educating women you establish a skill for them which is then useful to the society in which they live so they are employable and become taxpayers. They are then contributors to the actual wealth in their community, have greater independence and their society is able to provide welfare, education and support for the woman and her family, which is likely to be smaller then it would have been. In my opinion the most important thing that science has done for society is the discovery of the contraceptive pill, which allows women, for the first time ever, to control their fertility. Society is still trying to work it all out. Things have changed a lot.
That's not exactly what you said because you trimmed down the cause and effect some just as you trimmed down my response for some reason.
