Interesting article in today's Daily Telegraph.  Says amongst other things that "Uneducated women bear, on average, four and a half children; those who have been to primary school, three; those who have had secondary education, or better, fewer than two".  Relevant to Belize?

Could it be that they cannot complete their education because they are raising children?  And seeing how it takes "2 to Tango", just how bright are the sperm donors are?  

I would guess being Catholic might also play a role...

I'm sure there are lots of factors.  I believe the study was done in the UK which is not a Catholic country, but I don't know anything about the population chosen.
