Abstract
Abstract This review of literature has borne out the indisputable impact of education on women’s lives. More specifically, this review has offered unambiguous, although qualified, support for the widely held belief that fertility reduction is one consequence of improvements in female education and consequent changes in women’s autonomy. Support is unambiguous because in almost every known social setting, regardless of region, culture, or level of development, the best educated women bear fewer children than uneducated women do. Also, in almost every setting where it has been studied, the impact of female education on fertility is genuine; it cannot be explained by the fact that educated women marry better educated men or come from wealthier households.
