People in those countries think that having more children increases the probability of at least one of them surviving and making it into adulthood. The surviving children are required to take care of the parents, since there is absolutely no social safety net. I think whatever aid we provide has to focus on economic development, so people can break free of this way of life. We are going to be overwhelmed if more poor people keep breeding even more poor people. In most developing countries, having children is a form of future social security.

I agree that this can have a profound affect on the economic conditions in the area. Like you said, as women spend less and less time raising children, they can spend more of that time being wage earners and more direct economic contributions in the work force.

Only through this can we help people help themselves. Another thing that I have seen work well is micro-loans given to small businesses to help them get off the ground. While the money might not be huge to use, it seems to help in the long run. Education absolutely is the key there IMO. Only through this can we help people help themselves.

If our government acts on a more strict and responsible education poverty would be lessened, people will know about a lot of things and would not enter a family while still young, population would reduce.
