I think that just the opposite is true. People in "first world" countries, like the US, have a much larger environmental impact (per capita) than do people in poorer countries. In the US, many people have their first child and suddenly need a big house and an SUV, etc. I've seen entire families in Mexico riding on one 450 CC motorcycle (kids sit on the gas tank).

So, I think that rich people should stop having kids (or adopting them from Zimbabwe). If poor people stop having kids, who's going to serve the french fries?
