The Impact of Education on Women

Research has shown that women with a secondary-level education give birth to one third to one half as many children as women with no formal education. For example, a woman in Honduras with no education has on average 4.9 children, whereas a woman in Honduras with a secondary-level education or higher has on average 2.2 children. Women who are educated generally have more control over their reproductive lives.
