The poorest may reproduce the most because they are going to be poor either way, and they might also not have as much means to avoid it. But it is definitely a consideration for middle class people in developed nations who may have reasonably comfortable lives if they don’t reproduce but will put themselves into hardship if they do.
I think there’s actually a bath tub curve with reproduction.
Also, poorer nations tend to have less protections for children/youth in the labor sector, so having more children can be beneficial in that you can send all of them out to earn money.

Send? Don’t they yearn for the mines?
I have bad news about what society does with child laborers who graduate into adult laborers but without fingers.
Why would ‘society’ need laborers without fingers? Sounds like they’ve outlived their usefulness. What’s the issue?
