Sadly, the stupid tend to breed prolifically, and anti-vax idiots often have a gaggle of spawn, and are keen to whelp more litters as the others die from perfectly preventable diseases
I think about that often. The people who have the most kids are generally the ones who can’t afford them and have a harder time providing extra-curricular activities or those with more extreme religious beliefs who may opt out of scientific education. If your average Mormon has 3-4 kids and your average astrophysicist has 1-2, the population trend must eventually follow.
Mormons, Jews, Protestants and Catholics, and Muslims all seem to have more children the farther down the crazy path they go. I don’t know enough about other religions.
In 1st world countries I don’t think that’s true at all…to the point where I’ll say you’re flat out wrong. At least for many, many years that hasn’t been the case.
Can’t comment about less fortunate countries though.
Not that many of them die in Western countries although they may have shorter overall lifespans.
Doesn’t help that they add generations in 15-22 years instead of 25-40.

Of course they have many kids. They need to in order to survive their genes.
Many of their kids never reach adulthood.
