Answer 1

Poorer countries tend to have more traditional cultures where the women can’t refuse sex.

Poorer countries often have less access to birth control that women control.

Poorer agrarian countries often are benefitted by large families. Children become free laborers after a few years and don’t incur the expenses that children in more developed countries have, such as phones and computers.
