Anti conception and medicine helps a lot with making sure that population in extreme poverty is not growing in exponential way.

It gives us chance to take care of our kids. As opposed to having 6-10 kids per couple hoping that two will survive.

Populations with high birthrates are in many cases spurred by the need for laborers on the family’s subsistence farm. Giving anti-conception and medicine isn't enough, they need to be offered opportunities beyond subsistence farming.

Yes, absolutely, a lot of things have to go right for people to lift themselves out of poverty.

We all need education, stable political climate etc.
