there's a direct correlation between literacy rates and the birth rate. the more educated women are, the less children they have.
a good example of this is in india, north india has a higher birth rate and a lower literacy rate, and less women's rights their birth rate is about 7.1 per woman, where as southern india is more wealthy, has a higher literacy rate and more women's rights and they have about 2.1 children per woman.
it might actually be reversed the north/south part i forget
