Lots of other comments talk about economic hardship. Yes, that’s part of the story, but there are very wealthy people in very wealthy countries who don’t have children. And there also are very poor people in very poor countries who have lots of children.
I guess the question I would ask is:
If economic hardship is your theory, why do very poor people in very poor countries have lots of children?
So the story is not entirely about money. It’s also about the factors you mentioned.
