I agree with Dragline.
This documentary(1) addresses the decrease in babies per women as life conditions improve.
Children per woman in India is 2.45 (2) this is the 2.5 kids of America back in the day and it will continue to decrease unless some large percentage of the population dies off.

Re: Want to fight climate change? Have fewer children
Well, I also read an article today that sperm counts are dropping in the developed world and nobody really knows why : http://www.bbc.com/news/health-40719743
No significant decline in South America, Asia and Africa, though.
Re: Want to fight climate change? Have fewer children
It will go towards an S curve eventually, but nor because of education or healthcare, but just because resources won't support more growth. I'm guessing it will be an ugly affair. Especially in areas where population has not stabilized. My opinion only.

@Dragline:
''Boxers at one time were the man's under-bottom of choice, and that has been overtaken by the briefs,'' said Lester Schwartz, vice president of advertising for Fruit of the Loom."

Also contributing to sperm count decline would be almost every other change in fashion away from the 1950s Cary Grant elegant, junk loosely encased in crisp natural fabrics ideal.
I agree about eventual S-Curve reveal*, because when you ask "How does education of females lead to human population decline.", you also have to ask "How does human population decline contribute to education of females?" and consider common underlying causation.
*may be forestalled by bio-genetic-engineering of humans with gills.

@7W5--Combine that with the ever-increasing time spent in the car for longer commutes and those poor suckers are getting cooked before they ever see the light of day.

Right, and if you consider that men of predominant developed country ancestry would be most likely to have junk that was previously evolved towards production of swimmers in cooler environment (insert mental picture of Mel Gibson in a kilt) , it makes even more sense.
Anyways, I like this theory because I am weary of the easy assignment of causation of problems to vices.
