女性教育重要吗?一项又一项的研究给出了肯定的回答。提高女性识字能力可以改善健康状况,使女性能够维护自己的合法权利。最近在墨西哥、尼泊尔、委内瑞拉和赞比亚进行的研究显示,识字的女性更有可能理解健康信息并相应采取行动。**
Education also affects fertility rates. Literate women tend to marry later and have smaller families. There can be marked differences within countries. Amartya Sen, a Nobel economist, says that in the Indian state of Kerala, where girls generally go to school, women have, on average, 1.7 children against more than four in many other parts of India.
教育还影响生育率。识字的女性往往婚龄较晚,家庭规模较校同一个国家的不同地区可能会存在显著差异。诺贝尔经济学奖得主阿玛蒂亚·森(Amartya Sen)说,在女童普遍接受教育的印度喀拉拉邦(Kerala),每名女性平均生育1.7个子女,而在印度其他许多地区,女性平均生育子女数超过4个。
There appears to be a correlation, too, between educated women and a decrease in sex-selective abortions. Putting more girls in school is the single best remedy to the tragedy of millions of “missing women, though the link breaks down in China where the one-child policy has distorted the picture.
女性受教育似乎还与选择性堕胎的减少存在相关性。让更多的女童进入学校,是避免千百万女性“失踪悲剧的最佳手段。不过,由于受到一胎化政策的影响,这二者在中国缺乏相关性。
