Populations in poverty have much higher fertility rates. I have seen that fact used as both a qualifier and cause for artificial political divisions and even ethnic cleansing.
For example Israel claims opposition to granting citizenship to Palestinians because they are an impoverished people with a much higher birth rate. Past Israeli prime ministers have stated the fear is that they would eventually achieve population dominance and thus Israel would no longer be an officially Jewish state. This ignores the political realities of the wealth divisions to maintain an argument favored by the politically dominant segment.
Similar arguments were made by Serbia to qualify their invasion of Bosnia, north Sudan against South Sudan, Germany against Poland, and so. As such we should to see greater wealth disparities due to differences in birth rates and that as justification for future ethnic cleansing.
