2024 All things are harmonious
Why do poorer people love having children more? This is a complex social issue that involves many factors. Here are some possible explanations:
First, fertility is related to cultural traditions. In some regions and societies, childbearing is seen as a responsibility and obligation of the family and society. Whether poor or not, childbearing is considered a way to pass on the family lineage and ensure the inheritance of future generations. This traditional perception may lead to a greater preference for fertility among the poor.
Second, there is a lack of economic security. For some poor families, having more children can improve their financial security. They may think that having more children can increase their family income and help with caring for the elderly and living expenses. In addition, in some societies, children are also seen as a form of social security and can act as a supporter when their parents need care when they are old.
Third, the level of education is low. People with lower levels of education often lack knowledge about family planning and contraception, which can make them more susceptible to unwanted pregnancies. In addition, people with lower education levels may lack correct awareness and cognition of children's growth and education, and having too many children may make the family financially strained, which in turn affects the growth and development of children.
Fourth, there is a lack of recreation and social activities. In some impoverished areas, due to economic constraints, people lack recreation and social activities, and childbirth has become an important part of their lives. Some people believe that childbearing allows them to gain the warmth and happiness of a family, while also increasing their social circle and network.
To sum up, why the poorer people prefer to have children is a complex issue, involving factors such as cultural traditions, economic security, education level, and entertainment and social interaction. To solve this problem, we need the joint efforts of all parties, including raising the level of education, popularizing family planning and contraceptive knowledge, improving economic conditions and social environment, and advocating scientific conception of fertility and family concept.
