The global fertility rate has halved in the last 50 years, so I don’t think this is as much of a problem as you suggest. Our World in Data attributes the decrease in fertility rates to increasing women’s empowerment and decreasing child mortality.

I’ll also note that poverty rates are declining sharply in most of the world’s poorest regions, which makes the “bottomless well of help” claim seem a lot weaker.
