I asked Claude AI, and it agreed but pointed out that the effect is
more significant for women.
Claude -
High-IQ women tend to have fewer children than lower-IQ women.
The difference is less consistent for men.
Education levels, which correlate with IQ, also predict fertility.
More educated women tend to have fewer children.
The association is weaker for men.

This is implying that increased living standards, women's rights,
education, incomes, etc. may be the fertility deciding factors.
(With some correlation with IQ).
