Girls, High School Sports, Academics and beyond

A 10% increase in participation in girls' HS athletics leads to a 1%
increase in girls' college attendance & a 2% increase in women's
workforce presence.
Stevenson finds that "greater opportunities to play sports leads to
greater female participation in previously male-dominated occupations,
particularly for high-skill occupations." Fascinating stuff.
