While advertising and propaganda, subtle as they may be, only serve to 'push' people in a certain direction without actually helping them, education allows them to make up their minds by themselves, and gives them the tools they need to do something about their situation. For example, by teaching women in less developed nation ways to make a living for themselves, they will stand stronger to refuse bearing more children. And as their 'economic value' increases, the men will start to see their point more and more.
