• Time Remaining: 06:50:16

Which of the following outcomes will most likely result from an increase in a population's level of education and standard of living and an improvement in educational and employment opportunities for women?

Increase in the population's average female fertility

Female fertility means females having more children. This is incompatible with women being engaged with work and education. Typically, fertility rates and women's empowerment are inversely proportional.

Increase in the population's death rate

There is no rational causal relationship between women being educated and the population's death rate.

Decrease in the population's life expectancy

Life expectancy is a measure of the average period a member of a population might expect to live. Typically, better education would help with an increase in life expectancy, rather than a decrease.

Decrease in the population's birth rate

MY ANSWER

A decrease in birth rates usually is a consequence with women being engaged with work and education. Typically, fertility rates and women's empowerment are inversely proportional.
