Q.1 Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions.[12 marks 1. Among the natural resources which can be culled upon in national plans for development, possibly the most important is human labour. Since the English language suffers from a certain weakness in its ability to describe groups composed of both male and female members this is usually described as "manpower".
2. Without a productive labour force, including effective leadership and intelligent middle management, no amount of foreign assistance or of natural wealth can ensure successful development and modernization
3. The manpower for development during the next quarter century will come from the world's present population of infants, children and adolescents. But we are not sure that they will he equal to task. Will they have the health, the education, the skills, the socio-cultural attitudes essential for the responsibilities of development?
4. For far too many of them the answer is no. The reason is basic. A child's most critical years. with regard to physical, intellectual, social, and emotional development, are those before he reaches five years of age. During those critical formative years he is cared for almost exclusively by his mother and in many parts of the world the mother may not fuve
the capacity to raise a superior child. She is incapable of doing so by reason of her own poor health, her ignorance and her lack of status and recognition of social and legal rights, of economic party of independence. One essential factor h tor has been overlooked and ignored. The forgotten factor is the role of women, Development will be handicapped as long as women
remain second class citizen, uneducated without any voice in family or community, decisions without legal or economic status, married when they are still practically children, and henceforth producing one baby after mother, often to see hall of them die before they are of school age. S. We can enhance development by improving women power, by giving women the opportunity to develop themselves. Statistics show that the average family size increases in inverse ratio to the mother's years of education is lowest among college graduates, highest among those with
only primary school training, or o education. Malnutrition is most frequent in large families, and increases in frequency with each additional sibling. The principle seems established that an ated mother has healthier and more intelligent children, and that is related to the fact that she has fewer children. The tendency of educated, upper class mothers to have fewer children operates even without access to contraceptive services 6. The educational level of women is significant also because it has a direct influence upon their chances of employment, and the number of employed women in country's total labour force has a direct bearing on both the gross national product and disposable income of the individual family. Disposable income, especially in the hands of women, influences food purchasing and
therefore the nutritional status of the family. The fact that the additional income derives from the paid employment of women provides a logical incentive to restrict the size of the family QUESTIONS
