You'll find that the birth rates are dropping below replacement in the
most advanced countries. The least advanced countries have a greater
replacement rate and better economic progress in them will result in a
lower birth rate. High birth rates are left over from paleo times when
having as many children as possible was a primary means of passing on
genes since so many children died young. A paleo society could expect
to have the traditional short and brutish and red in tooth and claw
lifespans with a very high childhood mortality. Unless of course, you
somehow want to have your cake and eat it too.
