Uneducated people cannot gain any knowledge through books, newspapers and magazines. As a result, they dont know what is happening around them. Illiterate people cannot know well about their rights and duties in society.They cannot easily understand the laws of the country,the politics of the government and the programs of different political parties. They also cannot make much progress in life. They cannot get good government jobs and cannot join the armed forces. The country or nation,as a whole,cannot make proper and quick progress if the majority of its people are illiterate or uneducated.Only properly educated people can promote the agriculture,trade and industry of the country in suitable ways.Scientists,engineers,doctors,scholars,philosophers,writers,poets and artists arise out of educated and literate people.Illiterate people can at the most work,with their hands or do"manual" labor,thinking less and struggling more.They cannot so well make use of their minds or intelligence.





Hope this helps!

3. Loss of productivity Crime Rate 
it's been observed that crimes committed by illiterate ones are more in number as compared to the literate ones. Because uneducated people have no skill in their hand nor they have education to earn money. So it seems easy to them to commit a crime because it's the easiest way to earn money. So illiteracy gives birth to crime.
