It's because a bunch of African countries don't have retirement or pensions the way most of the developed worlds do so you have to have kids of your own. In Europe, north America and many Asian countries, we want other people to make the kids that bring the future of the economy, because having kids is expensive and thanks to social safety nets, other people's kids will end up taking care of you via taxes anyway.

If you select North America and slide the slider between 2050 and 2080 it looks like a face opening their mouth and screaming.
