Abstract
Author-writtenThe educational level of the population is the main determinant of the country's growth rate and overall development. The level of education in a society not only reflects the knowledge and skills of its citizens but influences various aspects of economic, social, and environmental progress. Therefore, understanding the relationship between education and growth rates is essential for policymakers, economists, and researchers. Education levels are usually measured by indicators such as literacy rates, school enrolment rates, and the percentage of the population with various levels of formal education such as primary, secondary, or tertiary education. These metrics provide insight into a society's human capital, which is an important resource for economic productivity and innovation. The relationship between educational levels and growth rates can be explored from several angles. Human capital development, productivity, income inequality, demographic transition, Innovation and Technology, Health and Welfare, etc.

Why it matters
- The educational level of a population is considered the primary factor determining a country's overall development and growth rate. View evidence ↗
- Education levels are typically assessed using metrics like literacy rates, school enrollment, and the proportion of the population completing primary, secondary, or tertiary education. View evidence ↗
- Shirpur taluka, located at the foothills of the Satpura Mountain in the Dhule district, is characterized as a half-tribal region. View evidence ↗
The question
- The study aims to determine the population growth rate of scheduled tribes in Shirpur taluka and how the sex ratio of students varies across different educational levels between 2005 and 2022. View evidence ↗
What they did
- The researchers used secondary data sourced from the 1991, 2001, and 2011 censuses, as well as the District Social and Economic Commentary for Dhule from 2005 to 2022. View evidence ↗

The educational level of the population is the main determinant of the country's growth rate and overall development. The level of education in a society not only reflects the knowledge and skills of its citizens but influences various aspects of economic, social, and environmental progress. Therefore, understanding the relationship between education and growth rates is essential for policymakers, economists, and researchers. Education levels are usually measured by indicators such as literacy rates, school enrolment rates, and the percentage of the population with various levels of formal education such as primary, secondary, or tertiary education.
These metrics provide insight into a society's human capital, an important resource for economic productivity and innovation. The relationship between educational levels and growth rates can be explored from several angles. Human capital development, productivity, income inequality, demographic transition, Innovation and Technology, Health and Welfare, etc. By examining the mechanisms by which education affects economic, social, and environmental dimensions of development, we will delve deeper into the complex relationship between education levels and growth rates.
By doing so, the importance of investing in education as a catalyst for sustainable growth and overall social well-being can be more widely understood. How are the population growth rate of the scheduled tribe in Shirpur taluka and the variation in the sex ratio of boys and girls at different educational levels from 2005 to 2022? Shirpur taluka is one of the four talukas of Dhule district with various characteristics. It is a half-tribal taluka at the foothills of Satpura Mountain.
The proportion of tribal boys and girls in different educational levels in Shirpur taluka is low and their growth rate is also varied. Study area Shirpur tehsil is located in the northeastern corner of the Dhule district. It extends between 21o11’ to 21o38’north latitude and 74o41’ to 75o11’ east longitude. Shirpur Tahsil covers an area of 1510.67 sq. km., which is 20.99% of the geographical area of Dhule district. https://www.geojournal.net IJGGE 2024; 6(1): 127-133 Motiram B Pawara Research Scholar, Department of Geography, MGSM’s Dadasaheb Dr.
