Fertility of the poor will likely meet the conditions (and demographic dynamics) of the 19th century. Their resource limitations is already a model of a wide civilization collapse. Before long, we will see how much poor population can be supported in this economic regime.
As for the middle class mysteriously lower fertility - the futility of their race for sufficient wealth and status is getting yet more obvious. You either hit abundance of a lucky rentier-investor and typically have a proud set of kids; this applies to many successful conventional professionals "earning" significant portfolios as an extra. Or you chase elusive fortune with a demanding work, mindfully continuing to compromise your biological chances. The financial food hierarchy is not explicit, but its reproductive effects (on primates) are increasingly just as in a jungle.
