Third world countries having babies they can't feed?
What is going on? Shouldn't they have learned by now breeding is so not a priority?

No, there's plenty of food, but capitalism says it's not profitable enough to feed them all.
exports like tobacco, cocoa, coal, rubber, palmoil and fodder bring in more cash

"Fertility rates tend to be higher in poorly resourced countries but due to high maternal and perinatal mortality, there is a reduction in birth rates. In developing countries children are needed as a labour force and to provide care for their parents in old age. In these countries, fertility rates are higher due to the lack of access to contraceptives and generally lower levels of female education. The social structure, religious beliefs, economic prosperity and urbanisation within each country are likely to affect birth rates as well as abortion rates, Developed countries tend to have a lower fertility rate due to lifestyle choices associated with economic affluence where mortality rates are low, birth control is easily accessible and children often can become an economic drain caused by housing, education cost and other cost involved in bringing up children. Higher education and professional careers often mean that women have children late in life. This can result in a demographic economic paradox."

Breeding is a priority in 3rd world countries. Children are essentially necessary workforce for the country's economy. They are a free extra pair of hands for the present and not some expensive investment for the future like they are in developed countries. Because of poor living conditions, lack of food, disease, war etc., the probability of most of the children dying is very high, so to ensure that at least one survives (to inherit everything, increase the countries' population and take care of the adults in old age), they need to have a lot of children.
