THE-AMAKA:

has anyone thought about the earth? WHAT ABOUT MOTHER NATURE?!
how many more mouths can she afford to feed.
oh i weep. embarassed cry

Well I look at it from a religious perspective. God is the one who created the world so he will make space for us. If someone is meant to be born, it will happen. Personally I love big families, but I do get annoyed with those people who have kids in the double digits knowing well enough they can't afford to take care of them all and depend on welfare, which is taken from people's taxes. People liek that make me livid. Some people just give birth to receive more welfare. I can understand why some people criticize people who have so many kids. As much as i love kids, if I was in a situation where I could not afford any more kids, I would stop.

It's down to the couple. . . .

Production factory of nowadays is not as it used to be cheesy cheesy

I think Finance is the major factor and ofcourse the couple's age wink

@ oyinda

shocked Long time no see! How u dey?  smiley

oyinda.:
I can't believe i'm hearing this from u. so you're one of the ppl contributing to our overpopulation problem. lol

I've always been supportive of big families, but what's more surprising are your blatant communist-inspired suggestions!! angry shocked It might sound nice now, but in 10-15 years watch how China will NEED immigrants because of an ageing/male dominated population. I believe industrialization will solve these problems not the one child policy. . .

@blackspade
just stressed from all the work i have to do. i'm here because i'm trying to avoid it. haha

i mean one-child shouldn't stay forever. we just have to keep it for as many yrs as we feel will cause the population to stabilize without excessive repercussions and then remove it. and then encourage the low birth rate trend among the newer generations.

plus, when the ageing population dies off, the country will be way better off. the trouble is only temporary.


but seriously though, why do u want 5 kids!!!? lol tongue

In practice with greater industrialization there would be a tendency towards smaller families for the simple reason that more specialised skills would be required which in turn would make it imperative for people to spend many years in training to acquire those specialised skills. and more time in the workplace in applying those specialised skills.

The end result would be late marriage and smaller families as women become more career oriented. It is that simple. There is nothing communist about it.
