The rate at which the global economy Is getting worse each day is alarming, especially for us living in a third-world country, yet, surprisingly, our population keeps increasing, you would think that the hard economic situation of the country would make every parent wise up and control the numbers of kids they have, at least making life convenient for themselves as a parent and also not birthing more children than they can raise, and letting them suffer.

This should be common sense, right? Yet the largest percentage of families in this part of the world don't regard family planning or birth control, they still want to compete with their ancestors who birthed more than a dozen children, not considering that those days are different from the current world, then they had farms where the children are usually sent to cultivate and eat from it proceeds in the process, but today, machines have taken over major farming, and raising kids and attending to other basic life's need has become quite expensive, even right from infant stage, have you considered the price of baby milk, pampers, then school fee, health care, and other basic needs.


Some argue that more children give them joy and blessing, yet they leave these same children to suffer from a very young age, looking malnourished and not taken good care of, it's common to find children without proper parental care on the streets, not because they don't have parents but because their parent can't cater for their needs, it is worst that it's even the low or non-income earners that are guilty of not controlling the number of children they give birth to, you can't even blame it on ignorance because there are orientations about family planning everywhere, on the internet, at the hospitals or health centers where these children are birthed and even the condition of their living should have made them aware.

So will the government giving incentives as a means of encouraging everyone to stick to a strict number of children by family and reducing population work? Of course, this sounds captivating, imagine the government taking charge of my children's fees, food, and clothing to some extent, it means reduced financial burden for me, so yes many might comply, but I also feel It might work to some extent on the younger generation, and not the current one, because most are already far gone in exceeding the number of supposed children birthed also there is an issue lack of trust on the governments part, because there is every tendency for them to just lead us on for few months or years and just stop, taking us back to square one.




The best way is for each one of us to have this common sense and plan our family right so we can take care of our children well, give them the proper needs as a child, and also have enough time for ourselves. There is so much we can achieve instead of living the hand-to-mouth life till our last breath. The lesser the population, the less demand and maybe our economy would have hope of stability.
