It costs too much to raise kids in Korea. How are immigrants going to raise their kids in Korea if native Koreans even can't? What the he|| could uneducated Pedro and Maria from Guatemala do in Seoul that would allow them to raise kids there, and I mean in a way that would allow the kids to move up in the world rather than doing whatever Pedro and Maria do?

Why do African countries have so many children? It is expensive too but people are still having 5+ kids[/quote]

In African countries, children are more of an asset than expense. They can provide great labor to the family & community in terms of farming, selling food etc at an early age. They can take care of their parents when they’re old. Also, sex is free & fun, and there’s low access to birth control. Becoming a parent in such places is a way to self-actualize since formal education, travel & careers aren’t easily accessible. Children provide simple enjoyment. A family in an African country doesn’t need to spend hundreds of dollars/month on math & computer science lessons to be considered a good parent. [/quote]

Disillusioned much?[/quote]

I’m PP. There has been a ton of research on this topic, and what I said is accurate. [/quote]
