Question

8．A son in many developing countries means insurance，who will inherit his father's property and help support the family．However，to parents，a daughter is just another expense．Her place is in the home，not in the world of men．A girl can't help but feel inferior when everything around her tells her that she is worth less than a boy．Her future is，to some extent，shaped as soon as her family limits her opportunities and treat her as second-rater，which explain why women in developing countries perform much worse than men both in study and career．
Deep discrimination （歧視）against women creates a firm force that keeps girls from living up to their full potential．It also leaves them victims to severe physical and emotional harm．These"servants of the household"come to accept that life will never be any different．What's most harmful，it results not only in millions of individual tragedies，but also in the lost potential for the entire country．Studies show there is a direct link between a country's attitude toward women and its social and economic progress．The status of women is central to the health of a society．If one part suffers，so does the whole．
To deal with the situation，many women turn to education．Educated women are essential to ending sex discrimination，starting by reducing the poverty The most basic skills in literacy and Maths open up opportunities for better-paying jobs for women．Uneducated women in rural areas of Zambia，for instance，are twice as likely to live in poverty as those who have had eight or more years of education．
Women who have had some schooling are more likely to get married later，survive childbirth，have fewer and healthier children，and make sure their own children complete school．Understanding the importance of hygiene （衛(wèi)生）and nutrition，they are more likely to stay in physical wellness．
Nevertheless，the comprehensive change for a society speaks for the more far-reaching meaning of women education．As women get the opportunity to go to school and obtain higher-level jobs，they gain status in their communities，which translates into the power to influence their families and societies．Such power may，together with other forces of outside interference，make even bigger changes possible and gradually lighten up women's fates in these countries．
