Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Literate women are likely to have more surviving children because they are more aware of good health practices, and they tend to live in better circumstances. As a result, couples need fewer births to reach their desired family size.

If status-seeking is strong, then the decline of mortality decreases population growth below its original level.
