High income doesn't mean rich parents with McMansions. In Europe high income is basically middle class where half you money goes in taxes, and half of what's left goes on rent, then good luck buying a house. Poor people have nothing to loose from having kids, they already live or are used to poor and difficult conditions, but the middle class has the most to loose from bringing up kids as it means a QoL sacrifice and/or more stress of finding a career that enables them to keep the QoL with kids. For rich people that's not a problem.
