The way to prove that overpopulation is the cause is to eliminate the other possible causes, and overpopulation logically become the "cause" by default .
But the article has failed to do that.
Please fry some logic. It will really help you.
clearly wala nimu gi basa ang family with 7 children..
You're NOT thinking. The question you should be asking is
WHY the family is poor in the first place.
It is quite likely it was poor even before any of its children were born. In fact, the parents were probably poor before they even got married.
So the cause of their poverty is NOT their family size but rather the unjust structures that keep the poor in poverty while a few rich families continue to get richer.
I think that's called greed, injustice and corruption, NOT overpopulation.
Your analysis of the problem necessarily determines how ou will attempt to solve it. Depressing population growth does
NOT address the causes of poverty such as greed, massive corruption, or bad governance. if you want solve poverty for ALL, then address the real causes.
But I suspect you will simply
refuse to do that as well.
