原書 poor economics ってどこかでみたような・・・と思ったら、経済学苦手で嫌いなんだけど、なぜか、原書を買って読んでいた。

そういえば、冒頭のTED トークのような問題提起をしていたな。

貧乏で子供に金かけられないのに、貧困層の家族ほど多産なのはなぜか、

 When we asked him whether he was happy that he had had so many children, he said "absolutely?' He ex-plained that wihmne children; he could-be sure-that-at least a couple of them would turn out fine and take care of him when he was old. Clearly, having more children aiso increases tne risk that sometning will go wrong with at least one of them. In fact, one of Pak Sudarno's nine children suffered from severe depression and had disappeared three years before. He was sad about that, but at least he had the other eight to console him. 

p119

 いっぱい産めば、そのなかには、健全に成長しない子供もでてくるが、しかし、自分が年取って面倒見てくれる子供もいるはずだからである、というところで、なーるほど、と思ったのを覚えている。

あとは忘れたな・・・ www・・・・Poor memory だな、こりゃ
