Another aspect is religion. For whatever reason, there is a high correlation between poorer communities and stricter observation of religious doctrine, and the more orthodox Abrahamic traditions are all pretty adamant about the whole be fruitful and multiply until your uterus explodes thing.

Ehhhhhh.

The far-out Quiverfull-level stuff, that definitely is a thing that happens, but it's more a particular thing that specific communities and sects do, rather than a general truism about conservative Abrahamic religious tendencies in general. So I'd be skeptical how much of an impact it actually has outside of those specific communities.

There is a more general religious hostility to family planning techniques etc that could play a role, though.

In my experience, it was never really "be fruitful and multiply."

It was usually the whole "sex outside of marriage is a sin" thing, and so the only sex education anyone gave kids was abstinence only bullshit because that's what god wanted, and told everyone that condoms don't really work, didn't tell anyone about birth control, told everyone to never even kiss before marriage, kept telling everyone that boys only care about one thing, girls don't like sex, they just want an emotional connection, etc etc. On top of this, the poor kids were never really expected or encouraged to do anything with their lives except maybe play sports.

So, because teenagers are horny and curious and stupid, they not only embraced all of this shit, they also just shrugged and said "if something bad's meant to happen, it will happen no matter what," and just started fucking around anyway.

Then surprise, surprise, there's a shit load of pregnant girls. They can't terminate their unwanted kids because that's murder, and so they got stuck with kids they couldn't afford or were able to raise, but they already made up their minds to go down this road, so they just accepted it. The ones who waited til they were in their 20s only did so because they just didn't get knocked up by chance while they were still in school.

The higher class kids didn't deal with this shit because their parents didn't like the abstinence only lies at school and gave them better sex education (talking to them, taking them to the health department, etc).

That's how it worked where I lived, anyway.
