Part of the reason why Pholippines is in thbe state that it is, is because of contraception not being used. Hear 5 children is considered a lot, but there that is small and 10-14 children is pretty common. But if there is very high unemployment with a lot of families bring poor, if so many families keep having so many children, what is the country going to like in 20 or so years time?! The problem will just get worse & worse until some kind of action is taken that will offset the problems.

China had a limit of 1 child which seemed very harsh to me, but imagine how the country would be now if a large amount of families had large amounts of children like families in Philippines have?
