I guess you are from the Phils, you know slum-dwellers better than I do. Perhaps they should f**k less, study and work more. I don't know.PFWARD wrote:"frighteningly low birth rates", the real problem is the frighteningly high birth rates of the uneducated. Philippines has a population of 100m and is smaller than Arizona. We have an over population problem, not an under population problem. Having children you can't feed and educate properly is stupid. "in slum environments people are having 4 or 5 kids", that's an argument FOR education not against it.
Sorry, for relocation I was thinking the real world in the West. For the Phil's anything that gets you to the West trumps all unless you're part of the oligarchs.
But for the typical reader of HA, to start aiming at 4 to 5 kids would be a GOOD thing.
Because for us, the problem is not lack of education. The problem is lack of action.
And the more babies we make, the better the world will be.
So don't expect us to deplore the mythical "overpopulation".
