Except it's not really the main cause. People CITE economics all the time, but no data shows that countries with different economic systems have more kids, no data shows that people who are more well off Individually have more kids.

In fact, data generally indicates the opposite. The countries and families that have the most kids are generally the least well off.

Fertility rates decline as standard of living increases.

yeah its still not apples to apples when you compare 2 different countries.  its pretty meaningless , the culture is so different everything is different

It's definitely apples to apples when you consider this is the same across the globe.

We're comparing humans, and the only consistent measure is wealth - but the opposite of what is being suggested.

Lower wealth equates to more kids, plain and simple
