Educational population function
The role of education in population is mainly reflected in the fact that education can reduce population and control population growth. At the same time, education also plays an important role in improving population quality, adjusting population structure and promoting population migration.
1. Education is one of the means to reduce population and control population growth (there is a high probability that graduate students will not expand their enrollment in recent decades). There are many means to control population growth, and developing education is one of them, and it is considered as a long-term means.
2. Education is one of the means to improve and change the quality of population.
3. Education can rationalize the population structure.
4. Education is beneficial to population migration.
The control effect of population education on population growth is reflected in the following aspects.
First, the development of the national economy will inevitably raise the cultural requirements for workers, thus stimulating the family's demand for education. The increase in family education requirements will increase the cost of raising children, thus playing a role in controlling the fertility rate.
Second, the improvement of education level can make people understand the relationship between population growth and economic and social development more easily, and they are willing to support the government's call for family planning. They are more responsible than people with lower education level in protecting the ecological balance of the environment, saving resources and ensuring good social development.
Third, the improvement of education level can make people more inclined to look at traditional values and social customs from the perspective of modern science. Their concern about bearing children mainly focuses on their healthy growth, good education, future development and career achievements.
Fourth, the improvement of education can make people pay more attention to the realization of their own value and the pursuit of happiness in life. They don't want to delay their development and happiness because of having more children.
Fifth, with the extension of years of education, the age at which men and women get married and have children is generally moving forward, while the later women get married, the fewer children they have.
Sixth, the improvement of education level increases women's employment opportunities and makes it more difficult for women to raise children. All these make people willing to control population growth.
