- The collected research has shown that none of the three elements directly causes the other two; rather each influences, and is in turn influenced by, the others.
- popular tracts on the environment and population growth have usually taken a global view
- developing countries, decisions on whether to have a child and on how to share education, food, work, health care and local resources are in large measure made within small entities such as households
- Those who enjoy the greatest power within a family can often be identified by the way the household’s resources are divided
- At a total fertility rate of seven or more, the chance that a woman entering her reproductive years will not live through them is about one in six

- In a rural economy where avenues for saving are highly restricted, parents value children as a source of security in their old age
- In parts of India, children between 10 and 15 years have been observed to work as much as one and a half times the number of hours that adult males do
- If access to shared resources continues, parents produce too many children, which leads to greater crowding and susceptibility to disease as well as to more pressure on environmental resources
Summary:
Families who lived in a developing countries, have a tendency for them to live normally, or to do something they want, or to do things but they are limited to do. Also, for children, they have to work in an age between 10 and 15 years old and worked more than the male does that's why most women want more children because of traditions or they can help with chores. However. education cost a lot of money and the families can't afford to send their children off. Some families who have girls want their girls to marry off it they aren't educated. But,families having more children, which leads to less space to live in and vulnerable to diseases, more pressure on environmental resources. The possibilities that lack of paid employment and education that make a women to create a decision for herself creates population growth.
Reflection:
After reading this article, I learned that many girls worked throughout their lives because they can't afford school. That they can have better life if they went to school and can have the lives that they wanted but they can't because of their parents incomes. We should appreciate what we have because we are lucky to have the stuff that we wanted. Especially for the children, they can't have a very fun childhood because they have to help their mother's chores rather than going to school, also for the women who wanted to have a better income so that they can have a better opportunities in life. It's very sad because many people throw away their bright future because of many selfish reasons while some people are dreaming or wanting for that bright future.
