Right. Richer people have better stuff to do than have kids. Poor people are too uneducated and out of it to control how many kids they have.
It's kind of like wondering why people don't want to fall into puddles. And you notice that poor people who walk to work in the rain are the ones falling into puddles the most.
It's not about money. No one in history has ever had kids because they suddenly felt financially secure enough to. No one wants kids. Across the globe, when the standard of living rises, fertility goes down. Reproduction is a biological Ponzi scheme. When you're given an out, you take it.
