If education increases average age of marriage in an area, what effect can it have on population growth?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Birth rate may fall and growth may slow

Correct answer: A. A higher average age at marriage can shorten the period during which a person may have children. Education may also improve awareness, decision-making and access to information about family planning. These factors can contribute to smaller families and a lower birth rate, so population growth may slow. This is a possible effect, not an automatic result in every place. B is impossible and unsupported. C is wrong because marriage age does not make deaths zero. D is wrong because migration depends on many economic and social factors and will not always increase. Memory cue: education and later marriage can reduce the number of childbearing years and may slow growth.
