Solution:

In these two countries (as well as others) women are given a lower standard
of education and are usually either at home or doing low paid work. So unless
they get their act together really soon there will be many vacancies for skilled
workers which cannot be filled , the result will be a lower rate of increase of
the GDP over the coming years compared to the rate it would rise if women
were properly educated and had access to skilled work
