The large-scale construction of public universities in #Egypt improved #education, labour and marriage outcomes, particularly for women.
On this episode of VoxDevTalks, Ahmed Elsayed joins us to discuss research with Alina Shishikova on the effects of the large-scale construction of public universities in Egypt during the 1960s and 1970s.
