Can you make up a scenario in which low life expectancy causes high fertility rates.

In developing countries, children are needed as labor force and to provide care for elders. Although there is low life expectancy due to poor living conditions there are high fertility rates due to this need for young workers as well as lower levels of education on aspects of sexual education and health.
