Here are 5 developing countries with both the female literacy level and fertility level.
Country…..literacy — fertility
Argentina…97.2 — 2.09
Russia…. 99.2 — 1.4
India…..54.16 — 4.55
S. Africa..80.9 — 2.11
Brazil…88.6 — 1.86
Russia has the highest literacy with the lowest fertility and India has the lowest literacy with the highest fertility – good for your theory! But look at the other 3 countries. There literacy and fertility are not quite as conclusive. But I do personally agree that literacy and fertility go hand in hand. Religion also enters into the picture.
While trying to find India’s fertility level I did come across this paragraph that talks about female literacy and fertility. It states that there is a direct relationship between the two. Keep in mind it is for India only.
"Survey data from India consistently show that female education above the primary school-level is the most powerful determinant of lowered fertility. The Government of India’s strategies of increasing accessibility to family planning methods and improving the population’s quality of life have been impeded by low levels of female education. The finding that rural women experience 0.8 more live births than their urban counterparts is a reflection of the higher education of the latter group. Within Calcutta, females in slum areas had an average of 5.6 live births compared to 3.5 births among those from nonslum parts of the city, again reflecting the influence of education on fertility. In the high-fertility states of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Madhyapradesh, Haryana, and Jammu and Kashmir, the percentage of females with an education above the primary level is under 5%. "
