It is more like a one and zero, not a spectrum of shades of gray: women can be educated enough to know about fertility, contraception and birth control or not.

It is more like a one and zero, not a spectrum of shades of gray: women can be educated enough to know about fertility, contraception and birth control or not. The part that is a large spectrum is the desire of people (not only women) to have kids. I know educated people with 4 kids and people with the same level education with 0 kids, with all the intermediary numbers being present. I talked to women that are childless and they have various reasons for that, I talked to women that have 3-4 kids and they have various reasons for that, but the common theme is they all have made some informed decisions. For women without education having kids is mostly out of their control.
