Abstract

This paper inspects the educational attainment of Karnataka's population, focusing on age and sex distribution in 2001 and 2011. By analyzing census data, this study identifies trends, disparities, and shifts in educational levels across different age cohorts and between males and females. The analysis reveals significant improvements in literacy rates and educational attainment over the decade, with marked differences across age groups. However, gender disparities persist, particularly in older age groups. The findings underscore the need for targeted educational policies to bridge these gaps and promote inclusive development.

Keywords: Educational attainment, Age-sex distribution, Karnataka, Census data, Gender disparities, Comparative analysis
