It's mostly religious purposes and old traditions mixed with the lack of access to condoms. Having big families and procreating is the best thing ever to them
Isnt it so some of their children can be lucky and be rich and powerful?
An example of that is the Jackson family with Michael and Janet being pretty much the youngest of that huge family
This. Also in many poor countries, abortions are illegal. And poorer countries are often more religious due to hope... and religions generally oppose abortions/contraception
Lack of contraceptives as mentioned, and because of the health conditions in many places. The more kids you have, the more likely a good bunch can survive and keep the line going.
An issue there though would be the amount of resources available in order for that to succeed.
Other than the reasons listed here already - children are essentially, assets. The more people working for & within the family, the better off they can be.
