The data of three series of national surveys were jointly employed to analyse the trend of indicators of improvement in the welfare of women, from 1999 to 2010. Using both linear and probit regressions, factors such as acquisition of formal education and delay in marriages were found to correlate positively with the MDGs. The paper therefore recommends a pragmatic policy to deepen the current efforts of making education more accessible and attractive to womenenmarriagesMDGseducationpragmatic policyOther
