Unless something happens - like, say, running out of manufactured fertilizers - that reduces the carrying capacity. Then we'll have a bell curve.
Education .... the more educated and informed a population becomes, the fewer children they have. It doesn't mean that the population is very highly educated overall ... even just a small uptick of an education lowers the birthrate. It just means that with a bit of knowledge, experience and education people become less likely to want to have children.
Is it directly the education or is it because more education leads to making more money?
It also means, espically in women, they can work outside the home
Education has not shown to lead to making more money. Incomes have held stagnant.
But the hallmark of an educated society is having time. Education becomes possible when you are not stuck toiling in the fields day in, day out. Which also means you don’t need little hands to help you in the field.
Education is expensive, which makes having children more expensive. A society that "requires" more education would have to reduce its birthrate to afford it, all else being equal.
It's access to contraception combined with material conditions. It's much easier for people to make the choice of whether they want to have children these days, and a lot of people are looking around and saying, "nah."
