The 9 Lifelong Effects of Lack of
Education
EFFECT
1. Poor Health
• Primary education is important for learning about personal health and
hygiene. Education is how health professionals and governments
communicate important information to society.
• Healthcare of the general population is a major
reason education is important.
• Poor health and hygiene is a serious issue in societies where large amounts
of the population lack an education.
• Important basic health that is taught at school includes:
• Pregnancy and prenatal care;
• Basic hygiene like cleaning teeth and washing hands; and
• Sexual health.
• According to theUNHCR, simply educating all girls to a secondary school
level would decrease worldwide deaths from pneumonia, diarrhea, and
malaria by 49%.
• 2. Lack of a Voice
• People who are undereducated do not have the skills or confidence to
speak up for themselves.
• This is a part of the reason many women remain oppressed in the
developing world. Girls who are undereducated are married young –
often still as children – and forced into domestic chores rather than
education.
• These women find it very hard to speak up about their own situation
and find ways to improve their lives. They can’t find jobs, are reliant on
their husbands’ incomes, and often can’t read or write which prevents
them from self-educating.
• 3. Shorter Lifespan
• Less educated people don’t live as long as more educated people, the
International Monetary Fund’s Fiscal Monitor Report shows. According
to the report, less educated men statistically live between 4 and 14
years less than their well educated counterparts.
• 4. A Poverty Trap
• Poverty Trap: The inability to escape poverty due to lack of resources.
• Children of poorer people are more likely to be poor themselves. This is
often known as the intergenerational poverty trap.
• One of the only ways to escape the poverty trap is through education. If
you’re not educated, you are not likely to escape.
• 5. Unemployment
• Everywhere in the world, jobs are given out to the most qualified people.
• Educational credentials are one major way in which employers choose
between job applicants. If you don’t have that high school diploma or
university degree, chances are you’ll drop to the bottom of the pile.
• 6. Exploitation
• People who have not been educated may have to resort to terrible types
of work just to survive. In a world of limited jobs, those with an
education get first pickings of the safer and more secure work.
• 7. Gender Inequality
• Gender inequality can be a massive barrier to education for women.
• Countries where women are less educated continue to perpetuate gender
inequalities from one generation to the next.
• 8. A Brake on Economic Growth
• Countries that have a more educated population will have
more sustainable economic growth over the long term than those with a
less educated population.
• This is particularly evident now that we live in a globalized world.
• Nations are competing against each other for economic dominance. If a
nation is more educated, the nation’s productivity is higher and its
workers are more innovative. The nation attracts higher-paying jobs in
growth industries.
• 9. Inability to make smart political decisions
• If too many people in a society lack the ability to think critically about the
big challenges of the future, we won’t collectively make smart political
decisions.
