How come the poorer have more children but the richer have fewer?

Question

I mean, besides Brangelina..

Answer 1

it's probably a very personal choice.  Wealthy people probably tend to plan more and think ahead, therefore plan on how many children to have, where as people with less money may just "accept what life gives them"

Answer 2

They have babies like lab rats.

Answer 3

rich people concern themselves more with making money than with actual family values

ever wonder why rich families are always having issues with divorce, etc? ever wonder why rich kids treat their parents like S**t? Only rich kids have therapists and psychologists to solve their problems, us regular folks just man up and move on, no time for shrinks.

Answer 4

Because their religious beliefs are against birth control or they can't afford it. Also alot of poorer people that I've met, don't even really understand the process of conception.  

Answer 5

Probably since rich people are not all that lovey dovey and have other things to do then be raising kids along with the fact that kids will drain the wallet.  I would have to say there are many reasons why poor people seem to have more kids. The list is probably is very long since there must be lots of reasons why. Some good and some bad.  

Answer 6

lol!  not Mel Gibson.... thats for sure.

Answer 7

Worldwide or what?~more of the world is poor than rich

In America?~give us some stats plz

Answer 8

I believe it is due to education levels- some people don't understand that when they cannot afford to take care of their own children that it will burden the government and all of the tax payers that pay taxes to take care of the kids they make and can't pay for, and ALSO the availability of resources such as medical attention and medical needs..like birth control, condoms, and in some cases abortions. I know alot of people who have abortion after abortion..but you have to be able to afford those things.

Answer 9

because rich people can afford protection!

Answer 10

They are rich because they have children they can afford. Poor dig there own graves by having more and more children....then they cry that there kids have no food and clothes. Well if you didnt have kids in the first place you would have money, then go to school, get a better job and then afford to have a kid or two

Answer 11

richer people might be more career oriented hence less time for children.  

Answer 12

Because quality>quantity
