A good economic indicator of a country's level of development is GDP/capita. What determines GDP/capita (in the long-run) is the amount of capital per person, which is, in turn, determined by the amount of savings/person. Therefore, if population grows and the rest remains fixed, including productivity, GDP/capita of the country will fall.

As countries develop, women have more economic opportunities, so they forgo marriage and fecundity drops.
