Its just because they are uneducated. Most of them have the thinking that more children means more money but thats absolutely wrong thinking.
they belive that , the more childerens the more income to the family. same in middel east and far east
its just like you people have more than 1 mom,dad(step) asians have more kids ,which makes little sense .
By the way one more reason to have more kids in Asian countries is having a "Boy". Many families don't have boy kids so they keep giving birth until they get a boy.
Excuse me, but because your girlfriend has to pay for her parents, it doesn't mean all Indonesian girls have to pay for her parents as well. I guess it is not wise to generalize I am Indonesian, and I do agree about the family there mostly have more than 3 kids, but they are older generation, the younger ones tend to have one or two. The higher education level, the less kids a family want to have. I hope Indonesia or Asia will be better in the future..
Actually, it's not something that is reduced to cultures alone. Many religions also encourage many children such as Catholics and Mormons.
100% true...i also accept it, Asian children have only one mom and dad(mostly----sure more than 95% in india) but in western it is totally opposite(only 5% i think)--they don't love each other or trust...i think so asian people are happy(mostly then western people)because they are still in joined family culture...every children have grand pa or grand ma, uncle, in his home(also most of asian wives are not working due to children and housekeeping.. )
Because of this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_crisis This : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpopulation This: http://www.overpopulation.org/ And this
Is it a bad thing? Parents do spend a lot on raising children too, money that could have been used as retirement savings..I'm not going to give you a lengthy explanation just figure it out yourself.
first...some of them are catholic...second they are lack of sex education...third they don't have a family planning method...fourth...some of them had been into unwanted pregnancy or prostitutes...agree..?^_^
