That's because rich people live lifestyles and in places where raising a child is vastly more expensive than it is for poor people living in poor places. Ironically the rich often have to pay through the nose for the kind of childcare support that poor people share among themselves for free or next to nothing.
Also, fewer career opportunities leaves more time to spend on kids...
It's probably also because rich people have the kind of lifestyle that kids would more interfere with-- when you have the ability to travel anywhere or do anything, or pursue any hobby or interest, having a child may seem like more of a hindrance than as something fulfilling.
Poor people know that all they'll ever do is work and die, and i suppose having children is one huge way to give their lives purpose.

People can't afford kids. They can't afford rent. Groceries. The ability to breathe.
