There's probably a case to be made that the effect of rising income on childbirth rates depends on the relative economic development of the overall society. For example, it's pretty well-known that as income levels rise in "developing world" societies that the number of children each family unit produces tends to decline. At the same time, I don't think that it's entirely out of the realm of possibility that there is a inflection point where the the marginal cost of having children in a society that has achieved a more "advanced" level of economic development outstrips the ability of a family unit to support that child even if they are relatively well-off comparatively speaking and therefore acts as a suppressant on childbirth.
