I started barking with laughter when he pointed out in one of his replies that this is total years of education, not years of secondary + post-secondary. Meaning if you wanted to shoot for a TFR of 4 and decided to limit women to six years of education, that's sixth grade.
I'm curious which countries are clustered near (8, 6.5). I wonder what paper this is from.
It looks like a meta-analysis to me, so probably more than one paper. As for that little cluster of outliers, it may simply be outliers from different parts of the world, but 6 dots is also the exact number of countries in "South Asia." India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Maldives and Pakistan.

Most women don't mentally mature out of middle school anyhow. It tracks.

Even if they weren't a contiguous geographic region, I'd be very curious to see what their cultures have in common.
