Moridin, I am flip flopping on this subject myself. I would like to tell you that there are people who are having babies just for the support from the government and fathers. As one child becomes of age to leave home it seems another is born. Having kids out of wedlock pays. Child credits, untaxable income from fathers, government aid in houseing, transportation, medical benefits.... until law makers modify or amend such things the benefits are to great for those who take this course in life.

I would have thought that education would be more of a key in resolving this issue. It's the same in third-world countries like the Philippines, where there is NO social security net in place for the impoverished. Families increase the number of children because of lack of education, and in the hope that one of these children will be able to take care of them in their old age.
