Women are sometimes discriminated upon from acquiring formal education, not offered equality opportunity to succeed in workplace and even not paid the same amount that a man doing the same job is paid. In 2005, the United Nations Human Development Report, stated that Nigeria was classified as a low development country in respect of equality in educational accessibility. Female Adult Literacy Rate (ages 15 and above) for the country was 59.4% as against male 74.4%; the Combined Gross Enrolment for Primary, Secondary and Tertiary schools for female was 57% and male, 71%. The percentage of female workers in some selected professions are: architects, 2.4%; quantity surveyors, 3.5%; lawyers/jurists, 25.4%; lecturers, 11.8%; obstetricians and gynecologists, 8.4%; pediatricians, 33.3%; media practitioners, 18.3%.  According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 2005 on the Gender-related Development Index (GDI), Nigeria ranks a disparaging 123rd position with the Estimated Earned Income for female as low as US $614 and the male, US $1,495. Lack of education has been a strong visible barrier to female participation in the formal sector.
