why dose poor people always have 5x time the children of wealthy people?
what make Africans have on average 8 kids while living in literal famine?

The reason in Africa region most people give birth to many children is because they lack the knowledge of birth control, in most Africa countries they do not encourage people to give birth to the number of kids they can afford to take care of. One of the things that can reduce the number of population is if the government encourages parents to have the understanding of birth control, this will really help in decreasing the population in a short time.
In developed world that population is very low they are able to control their population because birth control is something everyone is aware of and know how to apply it.

in 1600 the population was less than 100 million and they never had any famine.
so it's not about birth control

Why poor people always have more kids?

When you don't spend time making money, what else is there to do that is more fun than making kids?

Cool

that's a thought, you think if poor people get access to game set they will stop this?

Because women in these countries don't have access to birth control, and/or it is banned in their country.

If you simply look at the data and the evidence, you will see that women usually do not voluntarily have a lot of children, as a tendency. High numbers of children almost always coincide with women who are essentially forced to become pregnant and force to carry the pregnancy to term, either through the law, their religion, or tribal traditions--or any combination therein.

Women who are given a choice almost never have more children than they can afford. The solution is to give women choices.

No, the solution is what China did to there people.
in the 1600 African population was less than 100 million and till 1900 the entire Indian raj (India Pakistan bangladesh maynamer) didn't pass 250 million and today they make up 25% of earth's population.
oh and women didn't have a choice back then.

I am not even sure why you should bother to ask here, by the way, I think there are many scientific studies out there on the internet about this matter and they gets to almost the same conclusions.
Women in under-developed countries do not have access to both sexual education nor birth control pills, so it is more likely for them to have an unwanted pregnancy. Also, having more children in a underdeveloped country can be helpful to face hardships, specially in the children grow up to become healthy men, so they can contribute to society and bring back some some money and food to sustain the household. There is a good reason in under-developed countries family members live close to one another, you know. So they can band together to survive.

Not even mention the social pressure many women have to build a family at certain age...

Just want it to ask here since all of these topic on the internet didn't convince me

what make those people do this?!

In poor countries, more people live in subsistence farming and the overall economy is predominantly agrarian. In such conditions, every child in the family is an additional assistant and an extra pair of working hands from childhood. That is, many children here are not a burden, but a family asset.

As the country develops, more people live in cities and a child turns from a family asset into an expensive and long-term project, so in developed countries it is normal to have one, maximum two children in a family.

so Africans have famine even tho they farm?
most of the humanitarian aid go the desert, where they can't farm.

also every single minute 3 Indian farmers commit suicide do to there life conditions, by the time 4320 every day so it's not about the farming,
