Well not exactly about this - more coming at it from the opposite angle but why are teenage mothers and wayward fathers more common in deprived areas.
I've not actually read it yet
the general jist is that it is an evolution thing - animals are evolved to breed more and sooner if they percieve they are in a harsh, unpredictable environment. So in society overall the opposite would be true - we feel safer and more secure. Well, perhaps less right now for some people with the whole messed up economies

"Look mum, people with money don't need to have children!"
But I can see that logic - I think that ties in with love, or lack thereof, and not just fear of a unpredictable environment. People look for a way to feel close to someone, and sex frequently becomes that tie. Also, they are bored.
It seems to be how the things you mentioned would manifest in human society.
Very cool read on genetics/evolution.
