There are African countries where this is true for a much larger part of the population. In fact, while being the poorest continent in the world, most African countries have fertility rates over 3 and only Tunisia is lower than replacement rate(1.9)
The actual answer is that they just aren’t as developed leading to worse access to healthcare and higher infant mortality rates. Fertility rates and infant mortality rates go hand in hand. So while yes in more underdeveloped parts of the world the fertility rates are higher, in more developed parts of the world capitalism is a very large part of why birth rates are declining.
