Fertility is most strongly correlated with child mortality IIRC. The more likely your kid is to die young, the more likely you are to have lots of kids. Very low child mortality in developed nations, so very low fertility.

Correlation doesn't imply causation. Child mortality in Africa has now approached the same as in other countries. Women going to school is a big one.

You're assuming an immediate effect. We didn't see such an immediate effect in the developed world either. I suppose we'll see in time.
