In the article, "Educating girls is a real lifesaver" by Victoria Brittain and Larry Elliott, the authors say, the education of girls is very important to reduce the poverty. There are many young girls who are not educated and have problems such as early death, serious diseases, and they live like slaves in poor countries. Moreover, as these girls are growing, this pattern repeatedly happens dooming even the next generations. The authors state poor countries can break the cycle concerning the fate of girls by educating girls. Also, educated girls can help the development of economies when girls are in schools.

Girls who are educated can help to improve national economies for two reasons. One, girls are more intelligent, in specific part, than boys. When people educate girls for the development of a girl’s abilities, their abilities might increase the income of companies in these poor nations. For example, girls have a better language ability than boys, fluency and verbal expression. For that reason, there are many announcers and reporters in broadcasting stations, and employers hire many girls who are educated. Also, girls are good job at handling many tasks. so many companies that produce detailed stuff want female workers and teach females.

Two, educating girls has a very good affect on the next generation. In order words, when girls who are educated become mothers, they raise their children wisely. Educated girls know how important education is. They teach their children when their children do not know something or have questions about class work. For instance, many mothers tend to stuffy English more and more in Korea. They want to help their children with school work and teach their children themselves. Moreover, wise mothers teach their children how to use money. This means that children gain an understanding of the word economy, and then they can save money.

In conclusion, educating girls is an effective way to start a growing economy, and this is a root cause in order to be a strong nation.
