As I recall, after the moderators closed the thread, I discovered statistics correlating high school graduation rate for women, the number of children, and even the economy.
Correlation is not causation, but it seemed like the best place to start, have researched and brainstormed for three months.
I described some scenario where we targeted countries with the lowest rates for women graduated from high school and targeted the causes that were not "they got pregnant."
That was too political. I was not touching it.
One was the scarcity of clean water and how they often spent hours just for that. I argued that if we helped women graduate from high school they would have smaller families that they were better able to support.
