What is Dams and Female Education in Africa about?

This paper examines the negative impact of dams on female schooling in Sub-Saharan Africa, revealing that proximity to dams reduces female education by an average of 1.2 years due to increased time spent on water collection. The findings indicate that this effect is particularly pronounced in patriarchal societies and does not affect males or upstream populations. The study highlights the need for better management of water infrastructure to mitigate gender-asymmetric consequences.
