The report explained that children are disproportionately represented among the poor, since the least developed countries tend to have the youngest populations. Poor children are also more likely to miss out on an education and, as a result, on the opportunity to generate a decent income that would allow them to escape poverty in the future. Sounds like a problem third worlders can easily solve by themselves by not breeding what they can't feed and then sending it to the west.

So true. Sending money to "help" third world children is like spending money to feed a colony of feral cats but never getting them spayed/neutered -- just expands the problem and expands the suffering. It may make some of the givers feel better about themselves, but on the receiving end it just ensures that there will be a larger number of children suffering unspeakably in those hellholes.
