Good point. Based on what I have read, education also correlates well with a woman's age at the birth of her first child.

This is partly true, at least what I've seen in countries like mine (yes, my shithole is worse than yours Mr. Biden, lol). Also, poor, uneducated people have more children because they put them to work at a young age to generate more income to the household. They have the mentality that more children = more money. Sadly, that is not the case. These children go to work instead of being at school (getting education) thus creating a vicious cycle.

better educated people have sex less often. less frequent sex = fewer kids (assuming no great difference in birth control, though there may be one). the question, rather, is why educated people have less sex. the answer is they have more demanding jobs, resulting in less free time and more stress.

I heard some study on just that a few months ago.

Yep, I was going to post pretty much exactly what you have said. Higher education usually equates to a career where you have to devote much more time to the position. Having children & raising them requires a lot of devotion of time.

I could see the likely hood of less educated women, being stay-at-home wives/mothers is greater, due to not having a real career to be qualified for.
