abstract note	Social science literature demonstrates a consensus that women's education is important to a range of social and economic outcomes (productivity, economic growth, fertility, child mortality, health, and education), there is less agreement about the mechanisms by which women's education affects these outcomes. The author considers how women's education matters to their fertility and the education of their children, considering both economic and non-economic pathways. It evaluates "bargaining power" in light of the Bahá'í teachings about the purpose of women's education being primary educator of children. The author considers whether benefits of education accrue from raising women's earning power, and examines the trade-off between economic and non-economic mechanisms.
