I'm curious if this is just a Western thing. I feel like in Asia the government takes steps to prevent this from happening (one/two child policy and the ability to "buy" more children).

Asia isn't just Mainland China.

  According to whom? The PRC might disagree with you.

    You have to be colossally ignorant to not know India is in Asia.

      And I'd be colossally surprised if the PRC had never fantasized about ruling India (not that they could). They seem to feel just about everything ought to belong to them.

In the western world, raising children is very expensive so people just give up. Instead of solving the cost of raising children to avoid retirement issues, western governments instead import labour. Very odd, given the massive drop in population in those countries.

"In Asia the government"... Thanks for the laugh. You don't happen to have a lot of kids, do you? ;)
