Why is education considered an indirect tool of population control in the National Population Policy 2000?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It improves informed decisions on marriage and family size

The correct answer is A. Education does not control population directly by forcing people to have fewer children. Instead, it gives people knowledge about health, marriage, contraception, spacing between children, and the advantages of a small family. Educated people are generally better able to understand choices, use health services, and make informed decisions about the timing and size of their families. Education can also delay marriage and improve the position of women, so its effect develops gradually; this is why it is called an indirect, long-term tool. B is wrong because education is not limited to map reading. C is wrong because education does not stop birth registration; registration records births. D is wrong because tax collection is not the population-control link described here. Memory cue: education changes decisions and awareness, not population through force.
