Many poor people choose to have a second child for a variety of reasons, and here are some of the possible reasons:
Demographic and socio-economic pressures: In some developing countries, poor households often face enormous economic and social pressures, including insufficient employment opportunities, lack of educational resources, and inadequate health care. Having more children may provide them with more workforce to help them share the financial burden, while also providing family background and social networks that will help their children in their future employment and life.
Cultural and social factors: In some societies, the concept of family and succession is strong, especially for poor families, and childbearing may be seen as a tradition and responsibility to pass on the family lineage and continue the family mission through childbearing and upbringing.
Policy implications: In some countries and regions, the two-child policy may encourage more people to choose to have a second child in order to take full advantage of the benefits and benefits of the policy.
Psychological factors: Poor families may be more psychologically dependent on their children, regarding their children as hope and sustenance for their future life, and believing that the more children they have, the more secure their future life will be.
Self-sacrifice and dedication: Some poor families may choose to have more children at the expense of their own interests to meet the needs of other family members, such as parental dedication and sacrifice in the expectation of improving the family's economic situation or providing labor for the family by having more children.
It is important to point out that everyone has their own life choices and considerations, and whether rich or poor, they should be treated with respect and equality. For poor families, fertility decisions should be based on their own economic capacity and social resources, as well as the future development and well-being of their children. At the same time,** society should provide more support and assistance to help poor families improve their living conditions and reduce their financial burden. Only in this way can we achieve a fair and sustainable society.
Also, while having a baby can bring some economic and social benefits, it doesn't mean that every family should have children blindly. For families who cannot afford the cost of raising and educating them, the risks and consequences of reproductive decisions should be carefully considered. When considering whether to have a second child, poor families should fully consider their own economic situation, social resources and the future development of their children, and seek professional advice and advice in the fields of medical care, education, and social welfare. At the same time, society should also increase support for poor families, provide more aid and support to help them improve their living conditions and improve their quality of life.
