Description

Bearing children involves the intentional process of conceiving, carrying, and giving birth to offspring, ensuring the continuation of families, communities, and societies. This strategy addresses demographic challenges such as population decline and aging populations by sustaining generational renewal. Practical actions include providing reproductive health services, supporting maternal care, and creating enabling environments for childbearing, thereby remedying issues related to fertility rates, workforce sustainability, and the long-term viability of social and economic systems.

Claim

Children ensure continuation of the family line and add to the respect of the family. Large families are therefore common in many traditional societies.
