Why do poor people have more children?

admin

This problem has been bothering me for two years. Several years ago, I saw the video of the jumping cliff in Tianmen Mountain on Douyin. When I read comments that some people talked about joining with others, I was curious and searched related keywords on social media platforms. I joined several groups to observe their real thoughts and emotions. In these groups, I saw many heartbreaking stories. A lot of young people chose to leave the world through various extreme ways. This made me feel scared. I tried to help them, but often had no effect. Among these stories, there is one common point – most of them come from single-parent families or divorced parents. They lack care, poverty, and basic safety. Most of them are full of anxiety and self-esteem issues, gradually developing depression. Before I joined the group, I didn't understand depression. I thought it was just a show, a form of meaningless complaints, just trying to get attention. After joining the group, I understood that mental health is far more complex than I imagined. So why do so many people have trouble maintaining their lives? Why would they still continue to have children when even basic living necessities are difficult to meet? The worst thing happened recently. I went on business trip to Kunshan. Unexpectedly, I found out that there were so many so-called "laid-back people". While walking in the park, I saw homeless people everywhere. This shocked me. Then I invited four people to eat at a buffet restaurant. I wanted to listen to their stories and know their life and difficulties. One person left a deep impression on me. He had a child who had already divorced. The court ordered him to pay his ex-wife 300 yuan every month as alimony, but he didn't fulfill his responsibility. At that time, he said he wasn't going to work anymore and claimed that he lived very well now, as if everything was unrelated to him. He spoke loudly, but what he said was ridiculous. When I asked whether his child was his own, he said yes. His attitude really surprised me. It seemed that he had completely forgotten about responsibilities and family. Similar cases are too many. I just don't understand why they can't see any hope and want to have children? Why do they still want to have children even if they don't take good care of them? Even today, I saw an outrageous statement saying that you can give your child to your parents to raise.
