Family

two children, you split your money into two, and now you can’t afford every need of
your family. Even the ancient Greek people knew these disadvantages, that’s why they
didn’t have so many children, because they were afraid of that they could not give the
best to them.
The number of the population grows only in not developed and disadvantaged
countries, such as in Africa. It’s not because they would be so wealthy or could care a
lot about children, but it’s because they can’t afford medicines and the statistics of the
child mortality show deterrent numbers.
While in the better-situated countries the population seems more lowering. I think first
time marriages are later, than they used to be generally. Younger people don’t see
much point in getting married earlier. They’re going to university, starting career and I
honestly believe that they are leaving marriage and starting a family a bit later.
In Hungary the couples don’t want to have a lot of children. It’s not because the idea of
a big family is not coded deeply in their genes, it’s because they don’t even have
enough money to raise up just one child. That’s why the European society is said to get
older, while in Africa, India and Asia becomes younger.
And here comes the other problem, the overpopulation. This can be seen mostly in the
Asian countries, the most outstanding example is probably China. If a couple has one
child, they get reductions and aids, if they have two, they have to pay a fine, and for
the third child it is abolished to go to school and get educated. This is how they try to
reduce the overpopulation and find a solution for the overgrowing society.
There are seven billion people on this planet and all of us have different plans and
models of family, but in the end, we make compromises and have similar kinds of
connections to each other.
