I recently read an article about an American complaining about the number of friends and acquaintances of hers that were thinking of having large families.
Four kids, six kids, and the want for more — the term called pronatalism was the problem being discussed.
Sure, it is a problem — anyone with a very basic understanding of the world would find it quite easy to understand that more people will need more resources to satisfy their needs.
