Question

in the 1950s, the state of kerala had one of the fastest - growing populations in india. however, by the late 1980s, the state achieved replacement fertility, meaning that children were born at a rate to replace the people who died. kerala also has the highest life expectancy at birth in all of india, at 75 years, the lowest birth and death rates, and the lowest childhood mortality rate. much of the success of kerala is attributable to its very high literacy rate and health - care access, which are heavily prioritized by the kerala state government despite the states relative poverty. what were three distinct advantages of keralan culture that helped spread education and health care? there was a low rate of emigration of young people from the area. the state had an above average concentration of missionary schools catering to people of all faiths. the state had the highest life expectancy at birth in india. there was no real divide between urban and rural populations in access to public services. the state instituted a highly incentivized sterilization program. wealth and status were passed down to daughters rather than sons.

Explanation:

1. Missionary schools can provide educational opportunities and promote health - related knowledge, which helps in spreading education and healthcare.
2. Equal access to public services for urban and rural populations ensures that everyone can benefit from education and healthcare initiatives. There is no information suggesting a link between low emigration rate, sterilization program, or inheritance to daughters with spreading education and healthcare. High life - expectancy is an outcome, not a cause for spreading education and healthcare.

Answer:

• The state had an above average concentration of missionary schools catering to people of all faiths.
• There was no real divide between urban and rural populations in access to public services.
