female literacy rate and population growth
female literacy rate and population growth BLyL6
The given graph illustrates the female literacy rate in comparison with population growth in certain countries over the course of 12 years, beginning from 1988.
Overall, a negative correlation can be seen between the rate of literate women and the increase in population.
Regarding the countries with a population growth rate of higher than 2. 9%, Afghanistan took the lead with a figure of 4. 5% for the rate of population expansion. Conversely, the country’s female literacy rate ranked lowest among the assessed countries, barely reaching the 10% mark. The Yemen Arab Rep. had the second-highest population increase rate at 3. 3% yet placed last for the percentage of literate women. Similarly, in Mali, Sudan and Pakistan, the female literacy rate was inversely proportional to population growth.
Concerning the remaining countries, a reverse trend can be observed whereby an increase in the literacy rate of women was in line with a decrease in population growth. Colombia and Thailand, whose figures for female literacy rate took dominance over general results, registered a relatively low population expansion rate of 1. 8% and 1. 4%, respectively. Likewise, while Dominican Rep. , Jamaica and Sri Lanka had high rates of literate women, figures for population growth only ranged between 1. 2% and 1. 9%.
