World Population Day / If every girl goes to 10th standard, world population will drop to 150 million by 2050

World Population Day / If every girl goes to 10th standard, world population will drop to 150 million by 2050


New Delhi. According to a report by the Brookings Institution, there is a close relationship between girls' education and birth rates, as education gives girls an understanding of family planning. It also protects them from child marriage and early motherhood. According to Oxford University's World Population and Human Capital in the First Century, if every girl and boy received a formal education up to standard 10, the world's population would be less than 150 million by 2050. According to the UN, the total world population will be 980 million by 2050.

Example of the world
Women’s education facilities in Africa are minimal. Every woman there is giving birth to an average of 5.4 children. While in countries where girls are educated up to 10th standard, every woman gives birth to 2.7 children. For girls where there is education up to college, 1 woman is giving birth to an average of 2.2 children.

Example of country
The same trend is in India. According to a recent report by the Sample Registration System, the lowest birth rate per thousand is 13.9 in Kerala. The birth rate in Tamil Nadu is 14.7. The state is also at the forefront of girls' education. The three most backward states in female literacy in 2011 were Rajasthan (52.7), Bihar (53.3) and Uttar Pradesh (59.5). The birth rate is 23.2 in Rajasthan, 25.8 in Bihar and 24.8 in Uttar Pradesh.

Humans have solved these great challenges in the last 200 years
Literacy: Arranged education of 406 crore children
When the population began to grow rapidly in the early 18th century, 83 out of 100 children had no access to education. These children could not be literate. Out of a population of 100 crore, only 100 crore people were literate then. With a slight improvement, in 1930, one in three people over the age of 15 became literate. Now 86% of the people in the world are literate. Today, the world has a population of 504 million people over the age of 15. Of which about 85% i.e. 406 crore people are literate.

In 1950, two-thirds of the world's people were extremely poor. In 1981, the figure dropped to 42%. In 2015, the extremely poor population fell below 10%.

Independence: 1% people lived in democracy, now 56% live
By 1820 only one person out of 100 was born in a democratic country. Today 56% of the world's people live in democracies. In the 19th century, more than a third of the population lived under colonial rule and almost all others lived in monarchical or dictatorial countries. The world has changed a lot in the 20th century. Colonial empires came to an end and more and more countries became democracies. The number of democratic populations in the world is constantly increasing.
