It's a common misconception that these poor people give birth to provide them any future support. The truth is that India is a patriarchal society, a lot of them keep on having kids until they get a baby boy. Another major reason for so many kids is that there is a big stigma for Birth control measures like contraceptives, pills, etc...If women here are even shy of showing their faces to men how can we expect them to ask for contraceptives? Moreover these are poor people they too understand that its hard to look after so many kids but they don't have any other choice under prevailing conditions. They can neither afford medical services related to pregnancy nor can they avoid a natural human instinct. It's all fault of Govt and not of these innocent people.

It’s not like in the West….where easy and even financially better to have no kids, if you have no kids in the poorest parts of India, at 45 or so when you physically break down from the lifelong physical work…you now have little to no options to support yourself in retirement or if disabled. And even while young, you need the older kids to help with never-ending chores or if you get sick: to work the subsistence farm, get water, wash the laundry by hand, etc. In general…no one else is coming to help you but your family…it isn’t like the West where there are many safety net programs and poverty means being more likely to be overweight…..here people can starve, go blind from malnutrition, etc. And these are people who were likely malnourished themselves as kids, who have astonishing little beyond a few pots and the clothes on their back, and having children is one of the few things they aspire to or have hope for. And the kids don’t have any say where or whether they are born, but pay the price. That certainly isn’t in all of India…just parts and it’s huge, And the sad fact is that India HAS enough food and funds, and could fix it with just a free school breakfast and lunch programs, but in many areas it is just corrupted and miss-managed into near nothing, and the bureaucracyis very entrenched and outdated.

Bernard Evan Natividad I agree. Population control is needed. Even if these children are assisted, often the the help is too little, too late. The damage to their health is irreversible. Overpopulation is the elephant in the room which nobody wants to talk about. Like in my country the Philippines.

[@christopherswayzer4732]

I respectfully disagree. Overpopulation is not the issue. Notice that he (the narrator) stated that in the bustling cities there's a surplus of food and wealth. Many children go hungry in the US yet we waste nearly half of our food. In many cases, overpopulation is not the core issue ( high population in poor areas is an issue; but I am aware that the combined factors (poor economy along with overpopulation) exacerbates both individual issue. It's not a matter of there being a shortage of food or resources; it's a matter of the wealthy and elite not be willing to help their fellow country men. Recall that they mentioned that there is a lot of corruption in the government. This corruption causes many to suffer and languish in poverty. So as you can see by the points I have mentioned, overpopulation is not the core issue, it's greed.

[@christopherswayzer4732]

I do understand that corporations build nations: by creating employment, which in turn increases the quality and standards of life; they provide money to the government through taxation, which the government can then use to build the nation's infrastructure and provide social benefits to the masses. I also understand the nature of business: profit and grow above all else. What worries me is that the nature of business and the human nature are opposite (granted not in all ways) of one another. Human's bottom-line is (typically) their loved ones, while business bottom-line is profit. People can invest in someone without seeking a reward for their time and effort; businesses don't operate on this sort of principle. What we are realizing in this age is that we must learn to play a harmonious tune with the strings of our hearts and our purse strings. We must allow innovation and great ideas to take shape and form. But we can't afford to silence our hearts and we must not destroy our planet for the sake of a few men and women gaining extreme amounts of wealth.

[@fauxmanchu8094]

Christopher Swayzer There have been campaigns in Australia and the UK to pressure governments to collect taxes from entities like Google. Tax havens are their thing. The Panama papers leak being a recent example. The comment of natividad has to do with the great number of street kids as a result of poverty and not being able to take care of many children. I agree with him that it is prudent to have small families if circumstances make it difficult to look after children well. Civil societies are making governments accountable to redistribute wealth, but it's not going to happen overnight. That's what's happening in my country, the Philippines. The government is making sure free contraceptives are available for the poor, and the government of duterte has expanded considerably the budget for social welfare.

If you look at history, people start having fewer babies when they get wealthier and life gets easier.

Today, many Chinese don't even want to have a second kid even if they are allowed to and they have at least one kid becuase Chinese care a lot about having a descendant. My point is, birth control is not the solution.

It would also help if Indians had less children. I mean, people would hate what I'm saying, but it's the truth. When you have over 1.2 billion people, it's just unsustainable.

[@fauxmanchu8094]

Jebuscristo You are right, people can get very moralistic and angry because blaming the poor is not politically correct! But India is bursting at the seams.

There are just too many people and it seems like the system cannot cope. You've said it, This is insane!!

[@anesthesia166]

India's population is not the root cause. As what was mentioned in the video, India produces more than enough food to feed it's entire population.

China has changed their policy....and as many have pointed out there is enough food in India just politics getting in the way. Also regarding birth control no outreach is done and birth control is not provided to them. Obviously they cant afford it just give it to them for free. The country can afford to do so.

[@wild1p329]

They realised the negative effect of it so they finally abolished it in 2015. It doesn't work like that! But hey I love China & think what they've done with their economy is a miracle, it's nothing to do with one child policy though, it's system of government...

The problem is not that they don't have enough contraception. It is that these women are made to have children when they are as young as 13, when they are married off young. A married 15 year old will be expected to give birth to more children than a woman married when she is 30.

Well, the rich get rich by employing the poor, the poor who are able, in turn get rich and hire more poor. And opening up the economy is doing wonderful things for India, something that isn't happening for Pakistan, because it has stuck with its primitive socialism(zamindari, for instance). There's no argument for Socialism, because its history has been so bloody. It sounds very good in theory, the perfect state! But in practice, it falls prey to conflict of interest and bureaucratic corruption.

Actually, it is socialism that has got India into this situation where there is surplus food lying in the govt godowns but the farmers lobby won't allow the govt to distribute it as it will bring the prices down.
