That fear has been at least partially alleviated by new research showing that more educated people are having more kids

Could you please post a link if available?

I believe the impression is that lower and higher education women are having the same number of children by age 50. There's still a problem that education correlates with age at first child, and so you have fewer generations of more educated people running around in equilibrium.
