The longer someone extends their adolescence, the more they are willing to embrace extreme measures to evade adult responsibility. Makes sense.

So how does education correlate with birth rates?

The longer one spends in the company of people who have a typical mindset while, to some degree, feeling dependent on them for one's advancement in that environment, the more susceptible one is to adopting the mindset. This was probably true of, say, the Nazi Party during WWII. The higher in the ranks one rose, the more one became committed to that ideology, if for no other reason than survival.
