I also seem to recall that some studies have shown that the biggest single factor in the progress of a country is the education of women. Countries that don't educate the female population are knackered.

Much as I'd like to blame the religious leaders ("God wants everyone to breed" "Well God is a cunt"), in a lot of 3rd world countries, people have children for economic reasons. You don't have kids to work the farm, there is no state pension to keep you alive, no invalidity benefit if you break a leg etc.
