Illiteracy and birth rate

In developing lands, the illiteracy rate is expected to climb. Why? Because many children in the world’s poorest nations presently do not go to school. In addition to causing worldwide economic problems, ethnic conflicts have denied millions of children an education. Wars not only destroy schools but also turn many children into soldiers instead of students. Illiteracy, of course, contributes to social problems as well. Illiteracy has been connected with birth rate. Most Illiterate women tend to have more children than educated women. For someone to take advantage of the volunteer opportunities available throughout the world is both rewarding and satisfying.
