WillowHave you ever wondered why? People in 'these countries' have children as an insurance policy for their old age. They don't get pensions. Their only hope of survival is to be dependant on their children so to them having more children equates with a better chance of them being supported in their old age. Take into account the infant mortality rate too - it's no good trying to tell them that having fewer children can mean that more will survive. Experience through generations tells them different.
That may be the reason Willow, I am more inclined to think it will be something to do with religion. Just as Catholics didn't use contraception till relatively recently because their religion forbade it think these people are probably thinking on the same lines!!
