\nEDUCATION of WOMEN versus BIRTH RATES<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The two graphs below shows a clear and amazingly strong correlation between Women’s Education and (voluntary) reduction in Birth Rates.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first graph shows that the rate of population growth has decreased over the last 70 years. The lowest birth rate is in industrial countries, followed by less developed countries at over 2 children per woman, and least developed, still at a shocking 4 children + per woman.<\/strong> The countries which can least afford to care for more people are growing fastest. Still, there is progress seen in this chart.

The second chart, below, shows a dramatic correlation between: Going to highschool & Women having lower birth rates.

It is understood that a correlation is not the same as a causation, but the data is compelling. When 80% of women have a highschool education, birth rate drops dramatically to 2 children per woman or less. <\/strong>This is the sustainabilily goal the planet earth must achieve, by ethical means. Other factors, such as relative affluence and human and women’s rights will affect reduction in birth rates. Which factor is dominant and which ones follow? Does it matter? The drive for education of women (and men) and human rights is essential to a sustainable planet.<\/span><\/p>\n
