Mansi asks: Why do poor people have more kids than rich people? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Good question. Personally, I do not know whether statistically, poor people have more kids than rich people or not, but it seems like that's a general observation I see. If you don't mind, let me twist the question a bit: Why do rich people have lesser kids than poor people?

Here are a few reasons I can think of: a. Time - Rich people are often busy. In fact, a lot of countries face a problem where people doesn't want to get married or if they get married, they do not want to have kids.

They think they don't have time and would rather invest their time elsewhere, like studying more, work harder to have a better living, and be rich financially. B. Planning - Rich people want to make sure that they have plenty for their kids.

That their kids will not have to suffer. They want to make sure their kids have the skills they need, or even more than they need actually. So they invest heavily on every child they have.

They plan carefully, making sure that they have enough to provide. Shouldn't it be the other way around? It is heartbreaking to see suffering children who do not even have the basic necessities.

Financially, it seems like it should be the other way around. On the other hand, I've seen rich families who are so busy with making more money, sometimes chasing after fame and fear of being detach from their peers and circle of influence and hence pay more attention to those rather than to their kids. I do not think that financial abundance is the key to satisfy the need of a child and raise a healthy child.

Many times, the child will either be more attach to the nanny than his/her parents. A lot of them often wonder what's their purpose in life and are hurt when they see other kids have parents spend time with them but they do not have that. Therefore, I would say that whether rich or poor, it is the responsibility of the parents to provide for their child's wellbeing - physically, financially, emotionally, spiritually, socially and other aspects.To teach them the correct values, to support them and to love them.

Things happen sometimes along the way. There are a lot of misfortune cases where tragic happen to a family with kids. That is why as a nation, we care for them.

But people shouldn't put the responsiblity of caring their their kids to the society. Before having kids, think twice, make the decision and take the responsibility. Strong families builds strong communities, and they are the foundation of a strong nation.

May our nation be a strong nation.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
