Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have consistently shown that higher maternal education is associated with a decreased risk of child mortality. This is believed to be because educated mothers are better able to understand important health information, make informed decisions, and provide better care for their children. Education may also improve access to healthcare and increase overall household income. There is no evidence to suggest that maternal education is associated with increased negative health outcomes, decreased income, or increased total fertility rates.
