Basically, kids are expensive little bastards to raise properly without state assistance and to be honest, it's pretty rough as a couple to survive on one income and who wants to have them in childcare (very expensive) all the time up until they're school age. Overall and I don't mean to complain, but it's very hard in the workforce to have that time off to do it all.

Not really taking shots here, but the results of bad parenting with a single parent or both parents struggling financially (it creates a stressful environment), the consequences of unwanted children and how they end up growing up in the world.
There's only so much we can do to mitigate most of those things, but for anyone who's educated, honest and hard working, we just simply want them to be happy, spend time with them and hope they end up in the world knowing they got the best chance we could give them and where loved as the circumstances dictated.
If that's not available
The kids don't eventuate.

I grew up unwanted to a working professional and at the time, single mother. Most of my early years was spent being desperately unhappy for all sorts of reasons as a result and it took a bit to get a come to terms with. While I think I turned out alright and comparatively successful in life, it's not something I think I could willingly inflict on my own child if there was an alternative.

But it's not as if foreign investment is a lock in. It really depends on many risks that the investors are willing to take. It's a little more complex than nation has babies, nation gets foriegn investment, nation good.

You have to be joking. Look at the past fifty years of African and Latin American history for examples...

Even in cases where dictatorships haven't ruled, corruption has been so rampant in the Third World as to make democracy effectively non-existent in most places.
corruption is a big deal, but now a days dictatorships are not as prevelent as they were before... actually when i think about it..... only cuba has a dictatorship in all of the americas no?

actually the individual output of 1 person is higher than the output he would produce if working with others.... for the most part depending on interest.. :P
