Due to the increasing cost of parenting year by year, everyone is reluctant to have more children, and the decline in the birth rate in recent years has become a clear fact, unless the family is particularly wealthy, otherwise the average family is exhausted and stretched.
But poor families raising children seems to be completely unaffected by the cost of parenting. The poorer you get, the more common it is. I have seen many poor families with many children, I really can't understand, if you don't have so many children, will it not be so difficult to spend money and energy on other places? Adults don't have to work so hard, they can spend more time with their children, and their children can receive a good education.
So why do poorer families prefer to have more children? Can't escape the following reasons, poke in the reality.
Gambling mentality, the more you are born, the more opportunities you have
Those who only dare to have one family, all the resources and energy are put on this child, even if the child does not have much success, as long as it does not take a detour, but generally will not be bad, the relative quality of life of parents will not be too bad, because its own wealth and class are there.
But those poor families, who do not have the resources and money to concentrate on raising one child, dare not put hope and investment in the only child. And having children is the best investment for them, anyway, there is not much difference between the cost of raising one child and raising four or five children, that is, growing up on the stock. But there are many children, maybe which child is destined to be extraordinary, flying yellow and soaring, the family will follow the chicken dog to ascend to heaven.
In their view, it is always poor, the more one birth will have one more opportunity to change the fate, and the more children are born, the greater the probability. To put it bluntly, the parents of poor families are holding this gambling mentality, feeling that the more they have, the more opportunities they have, and that changing their fate does not depend on themselves, but on the next generation of children.
But children in poor families, even if they are individually involved, cannot be relied upon to say otherwise. Even if he leans on, this child is like an old cow, and it is not far to pull the family. Other family members have to suck blood constantly, and this child who has a job is the most pitiful.
One more child, one more laborer in the family, one more person to support oneself
Many families are poor because their parents are trapped by the environment and the current situation of survival. You see, poor families in remote and mountainous areas in rural areas generally have several children. Many of the poor families assisted by the Poverty Alleviation Office are also many children. In the eyes of such parents, having one more child in the family will have one more labor force, and if you raise a little bigger, you can work for the family, and if you are older, you can go out to work and earn money.
Among them, those who are gifted with learning can rely on other children to earn money to support him, so that he can carry the love of brothers and sisters. When you have achieved success, you must give back to other brothers and sisters. And the parents just have children, not only let the family have more earning labor, then the children can earn money, give the family a little wage every month, they can enjoy the blessings.
More importantly, the pension is guaranteed, so many children, even if a child only gives 500 per month, then the monthly income is not a lot, and the pension is not a problem at all. And even if there are children who are not filial piety, there are always other children who can be relied on,
