Question

Do countries with fast population growth tend to have lower educational attainment A. Yes, because a larger population makes it harder to provide education for everyone.

B. No, because a growing population can lead to increased emphasis on education.
C. Yes, because resources are stretched thin in rapidly growing countries, affecting education.
D. No, because population growth and education are unrelated factors.

Answer 1

A growing population can lead to increased emphasis on education, prioritizing the development of human capital and driving economic growth.

Step-by-step explanation:

No, because a growing population can lead to increased emphasis on education.

In most countries, the government plays a large role in society's investment in human capital through the education system. A highly educated and skilled workforce contributes to a higher rate of economic growth. For the low-income nations of the world, additional investment in human capital seems likely to increase productivity and growth.

Therefore, countries with fast population growth may actually prioritize education as a means to develop their human capital and drive economic growth.
