Epilogue, Question 5 Laura Bartz

The part that I found most interetin was when Wheelan asked "Will the family of a baby girl born tomorrow in rural India have an incentive to invest in her human capital?" Feminism and gender equality have come a very long way in the last century and the amount of investment that has been put into women and girls has risen at an unforeseen rate. I think about questions similar to this on a daily basis, but how long will it take for human capital to be given to girls without a second thought? And when that time comes will it be because gender is not a part of the equation anymore or will it be because that is the smartest decision wight the least opportunity cost, financially and socially?
