A study in 2015 (Schmidt et al.) found:

• Opportunity to learn has a significant relationship to student outcomes,

• A positive relationship exists between socioeconomic status and opportunity to learn , and

• Roughly a third of the socioeconomic status relationship to literacy is due to its association with opportunity to learn

Just under half of Low-Income Housing Tax Credit units are found in highly clustered areas characterized by high poverty rates, minority concentrations, poor educational opportunities, and rampant crime 

(Zandt & Mhatre, 2013)

Only 40% of women feel satisfied with the decision-making process at their organization (versus 70% of men), which leads to job dissatisfaction and poor employee retention. 

This, combined with the fact that only ⅔ of women feel they can voice a dissenting opinion without fear of repercussion (versus 80% of men), means that only 60% of women feel that people from diverse backgrounds can succeed in their organization.
