I suspect it has little to do with education. It’s more about not doing the “traditional“ marrying a high school crush to get laid/because you got knocked up, taking time to learn who you are, and dating around to find the right partner.

The thing I don’t think these statistics always reflect is the societal changes over the decades. Why people marry, when they marry, ease of divorce, the effects of widespread divorce on upcoming generations, it’s all changed enormously over time.
