      The “problem” being that the more educated people are, the fewer children they have.

      The whole “people should have more children and make sure they are educated and smart” is self-contradictory: it’s either more kids lower-education or fewer kids higher-education.

      It’s magical thinking to expect that the people capable of “making sure they’re educated and smart” will have many children.
