| Description |
Using data from five districts of Mid-Western and Far-Western Development Region, this paper reaches to conclusion that education has significant and influential roles in determining the sexual and reproductive health of adolescence girls, particularly of those who are from low income families. A rough ‘U’ shaped relationship between education and reporting of health problems and gender-based violence was observed.Key words: Sexual and reproductive health; Low income adolescence; Girls; Nepal; Education; CatalystEconomic Journal of Development IssuesVol. 11 & 12 No. 1-2 (2010) Combined IssuePage: 92-98Uploaded date: 10 April, 2012
