Since the turn of the millennium, highly educated women in the United States have had higher fertility rates than women with intermediate levels of education, according to a study by Moshe Hazan and Hosny Zoabi, which is forthcoming in the Economic Journal. The research was reported in the Observer newspaper last weekend and has subsequently received a great deal of media coverage. Here are some of the pieces:
