The given bar chart illustrates the fertility rate and education years of women residing in 8 countries in the year 2014.
Overall, there is a clear correlation between two main chart elements, showing that the more newborns there are, the fewer levels of education for females are in all mentioned nations.
Nigeria, Afghanistan, Guinea, and Ghana are the noticeable countries in which the fertility rates are unusually high, with lower education levels for women in contrast. Nigeria is the leader, recording a whopping average of 7 babies per household and only 2 years of education for Nigerian females. Afghanistan places second, with mothers giving birth to around 5,5 newborns, and 3 years for women. Next up in the chart are Guinea and Ghana, respectively. Both each account for nearly 4 children per parents, with Guinea women being provided approximately 4 years of school, while Ghana females typically have 2 more years compared to their neighbors.
For the opposite trend are Argentina, Malaysia, Sweden, and the United States. Firstly, the South African and South East Asian powerhouses share some similarities, as both countries record only an average of 2 babies per household, while Argentinian and Malaysian women usually get 11 years of education – 9 more years compared to Nigeria. Next up in the list is Sweden, also accounting for around 1,5 children per family, but with 13 years of school for Swedish female students – 2 more when taken in comparison with two previous nations. United States is the nation with the lowest fertility rate (approximately 1 newborns per parents) whilst having the most amount of years of education for American women (nearly 14 years).
