Majority of out of school girls are located in rural areas of the world. There exist many challenges both at the demand side and the supply side which keep them away for school. This essay conducts a literature review of all such challenges and uses the Social Cognitive Career Theory to identify possible reasons for non-participation of girls in schools in rural areas. The review finds that girls in rural areas suffer from low self-efficacy and possess non-ambitious outcome expectations with respect to educational and occupational pursuits in life, which also lead to low goal settings. The main reasons for this are traditional gender role expectations from girls by community, economic condition of a family, absence of positive role models amongst others. Possible intervention points are then suggested with the hope that researchers will conduct in-depth research into challenges of these girls which is used by policy makers in the near future.
