EDUCATION LEVEL OF WOMEN AND MANIFESTATIONS OF BIRTH RATE DECLINE: THE RELEVANT CHALLENGES IN ARMENIA

Keywords: education level, work, women, birth rate, fertility rate, employment

Abstract

This article is dedicated to the study of the interrelation between the education level of women and the birth rate. One of the essential lessons in the demographic history of the world countries is that the high birth rate recorded during the last century was temporary; it is already evident that the world birth rate has halved and tends to decline further. The level of education and employment of women are among the factors that underlie the decrease in the birth rate. Numerous studies prove that this relation is reversed. Like some other countries in the world, there is narrow reproduction in Armenia, which is mainly caused by changes in the education level, employment, mindset of women and their role in the family.
