Educating females leads to a faster decrease of population growth for many reasons. Women who are educated get married at an older age and have less pregnancies. For example, the birth rate among girls with secondary education in sub-Saharan Africa is four times lower than those with no education. Education for females also has a significant impact on a country's productivity and their economy. An education allows females to join the workforce or to obtain skills needed to become a leader. A female with an education is more likely to get a job that males normally obtain.

According to Drawdon, educating females is extremely important. They say that an education for females is also an education about reproductive healthcare. This influences the fertility rate to decrease. If the population on Earth continues to grow at the rate it is, the Earth will not be able to sustain everyone. Educating females is a way to solve this because the population will begin to steady out and stop increasing. Category:Female education
