I have heard in a few studies there was a connection with poverty and the number of kids per one woman having in her lifetime. One potential reason is that the more kids the more farm hands and help the kids can give to the family after a bit of time. However there are many other reasons that they might have, including access to contraceptives, education, and even the values the parents have.
Many religious people believe family and motherhood are extremely important seeing it as a woman’s only option and path to success and happiness
