Maybe they hope their kids will grow up to be pirates and support the family that way... I'm only half joking with that. Yes there is horribly little opportunity, but if you don't have the kids your probably simply dead when you get old. Yes you may not survive to that point, yes you may not stay alive once your old even with kids to support you, but you increase your odds. Then you have the biological drive for sex, the cost, sometimes personal dislike, and perhaps cultural ideas against contraception, and the cultural belief in having lots of kids. And its not as if there is no opportunity for any form of income (including non-cash income). The countries population is not falling off a cliff. Even as one of the poorest nations in the world, people tend to find ways to survive and even to help out their family.
