Hello :)
The talk about the relation of education and child bearing is a popular discussion among sociology.
Statistics show that people who are educated have fewer children for the following reasons:
-More education to a group of individuals/area/country means that there are more knowledge of contraception, healthier children, and protection; this means that the infant mortality rates are low, and women have less babies for that reason (Many women in Africa have many children as they are aware of their high infant mortality rates, and have as many babies as they can since they predict their children will die)
-Educated females break the pattern of before feminism existed, where females were all put to housework; now, they dominate pink collared fields and other professional fields. Knowing this, they have more time for work and education and less time to bear children. This influences lower children bearing rates.
-More educated people know the cost it is to raise a child...it's getting expensive and ever, and even terrifying without insurance and benefits. When brought up in an educated household such as the United States, Korea, and Japan, we are all told the prices of having a child from early on.
-Educated countries and people have knowledge of having kids.. We know the importance of abstinence, making sure we aren't having too many kids, and general common sense that is very important. Regarding this, educated people usually are financially stable and have access to amenities like contraception, which results in fewer pregnancies.
Hope this helped!
