Raising levels of education may be key means of stabilising world population
Future trends in global population growth could be significantly affected by improvements in both the quality and quantity of education, particularly female education.
The research reinforces earlier findings that the level of formal education achieved by women is, in most cases, the single most important determinant of population growth. More educated women generally have fewer children, better general health, and higher infant survival rates. Education also appears to be a more important determinant of child survival than household income and wealth. The study also found that if concerted efforts were made to fast track education, the global population could remain below 9 billion by 2050. Thus the global population outlook depends greatly on further progress in education.
The researchers warn that it can take 15 years for a fast track education policy to impact on population levels.
An example give is of Kenya: where the population would increase from 31 million in 2000, to 85 million in 2050, under the optimistic FT scenario. Under the pessimistic CEN scenario with no new schools, Kenya’s population could increase to 114 million.

ID:5410Author:aklenaTitle:Bring a Wild Bird Theme to Life in a BreezewayArticle:A breezeway that connects the main house to the garage is a perfect place to showcase an outdoor theme and blur the demarcation between inside and outside. And what better way to soften that line than with a wild bird theme that makes the transition nearly seamless? There are a couple of ways to go with a wild bird theme depending on where you live. In the south, tropical birds and palm trees may be the most appropriate way to go, whereas gulls, terns and pelicans may be a great choice for a seaside cottage. In this article we will focus on a native birds typical to northern climes, where species like finches, robins, bluebirds, jays, sparrows and cardinals abound. Create a backdrop for a Northern Wild Bird Theme Start by making your walls a seamless backdrop to the great outdoors. If you have the wall space and are artistically inclined, you can paint a freehand mural of trees, leaves and birds on the main walls and around windows and door frames. If you are less artistically inclined, search online or in craft stores for a paint-by-number mural that anyone can do. You can also use a projector to display and trace an image on the wall, then fill in with acrylic craft paint. Make the floors part of your backdrop as well. If your floors are concrete, you can stencil leaf designs on the floor or attach leaves to the floor with painters tape on back and sponge paint around them. Paint in a flagstone path if you wish or add area rugs that complement your theme and colors. Add Three-Dimensional Interest Do not stop with flat paint on the walls. Add interest to corners of the room by collecting bare branches. Fill a deep planter with clean craft sand and push the branches into the sand to create trees then add natural touches with faux birds, nests and seasonal leaves that can be wired onto the branches. Craft stores sell a great selection of bird theme floral arrangement accents that can be used to accentuate your trees. Add interest to the space above windows by adding a wood shelf that spans across the windows. Bird houses, grapevine wreaths, faux birds, and garden statuary will add a little interest up high. Accenting in Wild Bird Style Branches can be used a natural curtain rods to hold tab linen curtains. A key wall hook by the door in a bird theme will help you stay organized and bird-theme wall hooks provide a pretty place to hang coats and scarves. Twig furniture or a rustic garden bench is in keeping with the theme and provides a convenient place to sit. Top a bird bath with a piece of round cut glass for an impromptu side table and add more bird accents. An old potting table with open shelves above can display weathered garden pots and white iron bird accents above and offer storage below for shoes, pet supplies, laundry supplies or whatever needs to be tucked out of sight. Add a little interest here and there with wild bird wall art, bird photos surrounded with twig or weathered frames, pitchers of fresh or dried flowers, or grapevine wreaths.
