What is the utility of having a child in a poor country?

Children are future economic units. At age 5 they will go to the acid mines, bringing in precious pennies to feed your coca leaf habit.

poor people fuck a lot, India tried to remedy this by introducing television in many villages.

So you have people to take care of you when you get old. It's why multi-generation families in the same house are more common in poorer nations.

The natural human urge to reproduce.

they can all work and bring in money to the household once they're 10-12

just like being a dirt farmer in a poor country, but for low wage jobs rather than tilling the field.

A poor person's only asset is their labor. Children are subservient laborers that anyone no matter how poor can acquire. This ain't rocket science.

children will work for you and care for you when you´re old if you rise them properly and maybe improve your status if they can get an education and profession or your daughters marry well
