Fertility is a U shape across income. High birth rates for the very poor, and very rich, not so much in the middle. At the moment, the largest absolute number of births is in the middle class, due to that being the largest demographic, not the most fertile.

    do you have anything to cite for that please? cause that sounds like an interesting read that I NEEEED please.

    I wanaa see the authors admit it. I wanna see the authors admit that rhe reason that poor people have a higher birth rate than the middle class is cause they are too poor to access things like sterilizations, abortions and birth controls and therefore we can conclude that a notable number of poor people are probably suffering as regretful parents as a result of their lack to access to what they needed. But theyll also have to admit that on the other hand rich people have a higher birth rate than the middle class cause theyre happier and have more resources to help them raise those kids than the middle class. This will prove that the socialists were completepy correct - that we need to create a classless society. Cause if you have asociety where everyone has equal access to resources and birth controls the birth rate will be at or above replacement level cause all humans will have access to what they need to life their type of happy fulfilling life as we did in the past when birth rates actually were at or above replacement levels. The poorer childfrre people will have equal access to sterilizations and birth controls thus preventing all of them from ever becoming regretful parents and the slightly poorer and rich eager-to-be-parents will have enough resources to produce and raise as many children as they see fit.

    Id find it hard to believe that we wouldnt be at or above replacement levels with that many kids being born.
