Well, to increase the education of women in those countries (and poor areas of developed nations).
Not just education. The country needs to be developed enough so that more children does not mean richer parents.
What do you mean? How does having more children make parents richer?
Children as a source of income: kids are labor for household chores in urban cities. They are used for agriculture and factories.
Retirement: Multiple kids means multiple incomes from which your "pension" will be funded.
