Educate women and provide opportunities and the birth rate will drop

So should men not be educated or shall we shift the blame because we are not a breeding vessel

In (most) societies with the highest birthrates, men are educated for longer than women. Provide women with education and opportunity to use it and the birthrate falls.

A lot of women are now delaying childbirth till later on in life so you could potential see a dip in the birth rate following by a baby boom

A lot of women in the western worlds are delaying childbirth. They aren't going to all start popping out 4 or 5 babies in the late 30's / early 40's.

Have a look at World population - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
