ELI5- Why do people in poorer countries have more children than those in developed countries?
In: Other
In poor countries, you give birth to kids with a view to bringing you more hands to make food for you. You are not going to (be able to) put much effort on them anyway. In developed country you sacrifice your own living standard in order to compete with other parents on money investment on kids to make them grow. So the choice is clear.
Upvote me. This is the genuine ELI5. 😛
