The number of children a woman has and how early is the strongest indicator that she will remain in poverty for the rest of her life.

Right, and some, if not much, of the same, I'd imagine, goes for men. So you have those who, mainly through contraception, but also occasionally through abortion, don't have kids and get to concentrate on career and get richer, and those who have kids early and don't get to develop their careers as much. If, instead, everyone had kids, wealth gradients would not be so steep. Maybe if no one had kids they would not be as steep either, but it is in the nature of humans to have children.
