    There’s a very strong negative correlation between education and income vs birth rate

    There isn’t causation here.

    What you are seeing here is that the more highly educated people exist, our birth rate goes down, BECAUSE they can see it’s a bad idea.

    Forcing the births of kids who can not be provided for is not the statistical.“own” you think it is.
