In point of fact the strongest correlation between birth rate is the level of education of women, not their income. The west has done a very poor job of supporting education in poor countries, preferring instead to supply arms.

The US, especially under Bush, has worked to make family planning worse by putting arbitrary restrictions on what such money could be used for. Obama has now reversed the worst of these policies.

Get women educated and able to earn their own money and the birth rate falls within a generation.

Should you be treated seriously when you post under a pseudonym and with a phony email address? I have little respect for people who can't put their name on their opinions.
