Can you be more detailed about this subpopulation?

  Sure thing. From Planned Parenthood: > If you use condoms perfectly every single time you have sex, they’re 98% effective at preventing pregnancy. But people aren’t perfect, so in real life condoms are about 85% effective — that means about 15 out of 100 people who use condoms as their only birth control method will get pregnant each year. ( https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control/condom/how-effective-are-condoms https://www.plannedparenthood.org/learn/birth-control/condom... ) This applies to all forms of active birth control, and is the major reason people push for passive forms such as IUDs and long-term implants.

    So by "very large subpopulation who aren't really capable of using birth control effectively", what you meant to say that "people who report using condoms alone for birth control only have an 85% success rate?" Which in turn you are using to prove that "unstable sexual relationships through the peak reproductive years mean you're likely to end up with children"? I think that you may wish to reinvestigate your original point.

      It gets more complicated once you statify by age or income. Birth control is not free, intoxicants and general carefreeness limit how successfully birth control measures are applied.
