Keywords:
Levels of Education, Work Participation Rate, Birth Control, Occupational Structure, General Fertility RateAbstract
The present paper aims to study the levels of education and work participation of the females of India and Uttar Pradesh and their consciousness of birth control by obtaining the general fertility rate of females in the year 2001. The entire study is based upon the district level secondary data obtained from Census of India, 2001 and the State Planning Institute, Lucknow. From the results it can be vesualised that literacy rate of females in India is 45.15 per cent, whereas, in Uttar Pradesh it is only 34.11 per cent. Meaning there by that less than half of the total population of females is literate whether it is state or country. It is clear from the results that general fertility rate decreases with increase in the level of education of females both in the nation as well as in the state. It is also evident from the results that work participation rate of females is low both at national level (25.60 per cent) as well as the state level (16.50 per cent). Apart from this, main workers show lower general fertility rate than the marginal workers both in India as well as in Uttar Pradesh.
