Editor's Notes
- Find original citation
- Girls are the first ones to be taken out of schools when families are resource constrainedBuilding additional school for governments is incredibly expensiveGirls who don’t go to school have higher rates of unintended pregnancies and so the cycle perpetuates with a higher population level
- Increasing demand for water is also directly related to population growth, mainly through the extra water needed to grow more food. About a third of the world’s population live under conditions of moderate or high water stress, a categorisation implying that water availability is already, or is becoming, a limiting factor. This proportion is bound to rise and could reach two-thirds by 2025.39
