"...the current number of young women in Ireland, who are becoming pregnant to receive welfare cheques."

Looks like someone needs to implement a little Welfare Reform...or is this the Irish Guv'ment's way to combat the low fertility rate that plagues Old Europe?!

Juxtapose immigrants to the U.S. from western Europe & SE Asia.
Interesting, to say the least.

Yes, indeed, and the welfare system here might explain some of the behaviour of young Irish women - they definitely don't seem to be looking for any serious relationship whenever I try.

Of course 20-somethings like myself don't want to settle down just yet, but a relationship doesn't mean enslavement at that age - but many women don't mind been tied down to the Welfare State.
