A more educated workforce also facilitates poverty eradication and economic growth. The literacy rate is directly proportional to the fertility rate. Lack of formal education on population issues, such as family planning, sex education, reproductive behavior, cultural and social values, and contraception is absent from the educational structure. It should not be a controversial topic, but rather brought openly to the younger generation and young couples.
