I actually thought that wasn't the case. Across the entire world, people in more precarious circumstances have more kids. I don't know why.
- watwut 2y agoWomen who are educated about birth control and able to make those decisions have less kids. That is why - when women specifically have options they choose to have less kids and pursue own happiness.
- YouWhy 2y ago> people in more precarious circumstances have more kids. I don't know why. Did you consider that the judgement of precariousness of the people's situation is in your value system, and does not necessarily transfer to their value system? Especially this could be due to you having access to more information than them

- morellt 2y agoless educated -> less money -> less to lose + welfare benefits don't look too bad
- graemep 2y agoAcross the world, yes, but in the context of reasonably well of people, no. There are other differences too. The consequences of having more kids is very different for a subsistence farmer vs an affluent urban person.
