They're not that low everywhere. For example, in Finland (my birth country) the rate is about 83%, while also having one of the world's lowest infant & maternal mortality. US probably just does C-sections more than medically justified (more $$$?)

As someone who worked as a professor for 6 years, I'm not surprised (though I sincerely hope it's not in econ). Many PhD students are dumb as rocks. After you get in it's very hard not to graduate. Sure, they make you jump through various hoops but in the end it's mostly just for show and you get your degree in the end.
