the cost of ignorance

Imagine that you are lost in Beijing, China, where it is very difficult to find someone who speaks a language other than Chinese. Suppose you are feeling unwell and need to go to a hospital. The more time passes, the more the pain increases. And the more difficult it becomes for you to communicate with the people around you. You look at the plates but you don't understand anything. Search a phone book and understand even less. Have you ever thought if you had to work in this place? Terrible, isn't it?

This feeling of insecurity helps to understand a huge portion of the Brazilian population. An illiterate or semi-literate person behaves in practice the same way you would behave if you were lost in a street in Beijing. This example helps to understand more about infant mortality and the vicious circle of misery.

Confused? After all, what does illiteracy have to do with child mortality?

It's simple. The mother's level of education is a vital element for the family to realize the need for hygiene and basic sanitation.

Unicef ​​figures show that the infant mortality rate peaks in families where the mother is illiterate. And it goes down ________________ the instruction increases. The death of young children among children of women who attend school for less than a year is about three times greater than in families where the mother studied for more than eight years.
