You Have One Or Two Kids

American women average 2.4 children per Pew Research, and that number has been stable since the 70’s. Although women with less education generally have more kids, average family size has been growing among women who have master’s degrees or Ph.Ds.

Well-educated women may be having more babies as a status symbol since being able to pay for all things associated with children can be quite expensive. Those in the middle class may only be able to afford one or two kids because of all the costs.
