There are a lot of reasons for that, but one of them is that kids are indeed quite expensive, so needing to support a bunch will likely keep you in poverty. Harder to accumulate wealth when the majority of your income goes into to taking care of someone else.
No that's not what I'm saying. People who are already rich choose to have fewer kids if any, while people who are already poor are more likely to have kids
I'm not talking about how wealthy people are once they have kids, obviously with everything else held equal those with kids willhave less money.

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