Years of schooling appear wasted when women do not have access to employment and/or are precluded from becoming self-employed, do not have a choice whether to marry and bear children, or their opportunities for political representation are foreclosed.
如果妇女找不到工作和(或)无法自我就业，或在结婚和生育之间无法选择，或她们的参政机会被剥夺，那么多年的教育就似乎浪费了。
