I understand that the more educated people are more aware of the responsibilities and risks of having children and they use protection more etc. but why is it ALWAYS that more literate and rich populations have lower birth rates? At one point, shouldn’t the literate and able people have children to contribute to the future of their countries?

I think being more educated helps you to be able to think things much further through. Educated people often wait until they have graduated college and begun their careers before planning families. Starting late also limits fertility time. Realizing that having children is an enormous undertaking – financially, emotionally and physically, people that have children later are able to see these things in their friends and siblings families. It also seems to me that people more and more are opting not to have children.
