Briefly explain how the status of women affects population growth

What will be an ideal response?


Higher status of women in a society usually results in lower population growth. Increased female literacy is strongly associated with reduced birth rates in many nations. Studies show that educated women have better access to contraceptives, marry later, and have fewer children, keeping population growth low. In societies where females have little power, there are more unintended pregnancies.
