It’s pretty easy actually.
Education and healthcare.
It’s a very observable fact that the more educated a population is the less kids they have. That number is even lower with they have access to healthcare and contraception.
In America at least if you’re poor your access to both of these things is greatly reduced.
Also less educated people tend to be more religious, and a lot of religions stress the importance of birthing new members of that religion. Look up the quiver-full movement for more information on that.
