Child marriage in Africa results in significant economic losses, with a World Bank report estimating $63 billion in lost earnings and productivity for 12 countries, potentially doubling for the entire continent.

The report emphasizes the importance of secondary education in reducing early marriages and improving economic prospects for women. Despite being a target under the Sustainable Development Goals, comprehensive strategies and investments to end child marriage remain limited.
