Answer to Question 1

Symbolic interactionists identify three reasons why bearing many children plays a central role in the lives of people in poor nations. Parenthood enhances the status of both men and women, and provides personal and social fulfillment. Second, there is community support for having many children. Third, children are seen as economic assets. Conflict theorists take an entirely different view. They stress the dominance of men over women in all aspects of women's lives, including reproduction. The reason then that poor people have so many children is that men control reproductive choices.

Answer to Question 2
