> There is a strongly negative relationship between women's education and fertility. Actually, it is a correlation between educated women having educated partners that know how to use contraceptive methods. Educate all men and women's education will be less relevant. Or stop any education of men, contraceptive methods will decline and fertility grow. > Is this, in the long run, also good for the taxpayers? It all depends. Is it good for "taxpayers" that humanity does not go extinct? Is taxes the only moral compass for our society? Each time someone mentions a social advance for our society there is a big reaction against it because "costs money". Yes, it costs money, and it is money well spend in the citizens well being. Is the legal system, schools, the police force, firefighters, etc good for taxpayers? Yes. Does it costs money? Yes. And that is why there is taxes. To pay for our needs.
