Do diaspora Somalis want kids?

[Rayaale]

Quality over quantity.

Cockroaches and rats have dozens of kids because a rat doesn’t have a high ceiling they are durable and low cost/labour.

The more intelligent and bigger the species the less kids they have.

Don’t pop out dozens of kids who will have almost zero attachment to their father because you can’t split your time enough.

What kind of statement is this, comparing humans to rats and cockroaches

Judging by the stats I’ve seen a huge number of diaspora born people will be childless in their 30s and 40s I don’t really blame them either kids cost a lot of money

Are you speaking from experience? You seem like one of them no offense sxb.

Women would likely report lower figures because they bear the greatest costs and are most often tasked with raising children. Child rearing is not an evenly shared effort, but rather one that is shouldered primarily by women who are the custodial parents or primary caregivers. Having a child introduces the possibility of single motherhood (via divorce or widowhood). And the quality of the father can vary widely in terms of attractiveness, intellect, stability, character, or finances. More importantly, some fathers are emotionally and/or physically absent, while others are actively involved, likely due to greater trait conscientiousness, agreeableness, and prosocial behaviour. Still others may pass on negative characteristics to their children, i.e. disordered patterns of behaviour, which are learned and heritable. So, I would say the risks are multifarious.

As for young people (Gen Z) in the diaspora, there are structural forces that may delay marriage and family planning. To begin with, youth unemployment and underemployment are on the rise, driven by A. I automation, greater competition and issues of credential inflation (requiring more degrees and years of experience), as well as the scarcity of entry-level roles, particularly in the tech sector. There have been several layoffs. I have seen Comp Sci recent graduates struggling to land jobs at Chipotle. I pray for them.

Funny seeing the males ordering the amount of children "they'll" probably have like it's some novelty toy.

Youth un employment is really only a issue in certain places like Canada ,Spain and Italy

You’ll notice these nations are suffering from long term economic stagnation

 

[KayseLuul]

7/8 daughters and I’ll adopt children too. But first career ‍

 

[Bo$$man]

Having more than 3 in the west is difficult if you want a comfortable life.

 

[Barni]

If I could get a hysterectomy I would.

 

[Jaale Ugaas]

It's useless to have many kids and some of them turn out bad and it's also an indictment on your own parenting skill.

I think if I'm having children in the west I would go max 5. More than that I would most likely be living somewhere were the COL is much cheaper.

Some like to be biological fathers without 'fathering' their young. They usually link up with women who play Hooyo-Aabo. They get the glory without the effort. Meanwhile, their daughters are saddled with the mothering responsibilities of their siblings, particularly in those larger families. The carework constantly shifts: Father -> Mother -> Daughter(s).

if god gives, more than one is enough, some of them are trouble.

I'm big on my wife having food genes. I'll forgo the chance to have kids if my potential spouse won't let me test her full genome and scrupulously check for deleterious genes and have my personal Chinese doctor who recently escaped federal prison for human experimentation on impoverished Viet kids meticulously CRISPR dem es. 6'10, myostatin deficient, wide-clavicled, Eugenes, Critias style.
