People in countries with very low incomes tend to have more children. One reason is that children can start helping out the family very young and be working to contribute by their teenage years. Another goal is to gain retirement security. If you have 8 children you’ll have someone to take care of you in old age.

Wow, I never knew that. I wonder what the family dynamic is in these sorts of families. It must be way different from my experiences of family.
