Population

    • My mother's parents had 9 children and my father's parents had 5 children. As to my parents my mother has 2 children and my father has more than 2 children (not sure about the number). I would like to have as many children that I could have if it is possible that I bring up them. No matter the number of children that we have, the most important is that we can bring up them with all the love and care that we can, so that they will become the BEINGS of tomorrow.
    • The population of my country, Guadeloupe, is composed mostly by people from African origin (in the past, many Africans were deported in Guadeloupe, they were used as slaves for the plantation of sugar-canes for example). They also have some Indian communities in the island. Currently, Guadeloupe has a population of about 435,000 habitants (click here for more demographic details). Guadeloupe is not composed by many people, so there is, I think, no problem of spaces.
    • The consequences of a significant population shift in Guadeloupe from the rural areas to the urban areas are not really visible. But there is not particular matter. Those who are from the rural stay at the same place and try to live in a proper way in the area. As Guadeloupe is not a country but an Island, it is quiet easy to be in both areas. I actually lived in the rural area. I liked this area because it is quiet and truly natural with animals in various places. I may notice that, according to me, if you want to go further (which means discovering different things), staying in the rural side would not lead you to this purpose.

    Oh,you have a big family! I believe that you children must grow up in a family which is full of love and peace. But in my case, I think that 2 or 3 children are enough for me, because having children really mean lots of responsibilities. If I have too many children, it's impossible to pay attention on every children equally. In order to give my every kid a family that full of love and comfort, and at the same time I can have my own time and spaces for life, I prefer to choose have 2 to 3 children.

    I think 2 children for a family is best choose because the problem of taking care of your parents if only one child for each family that will be hard for couples. they need to take care four old people and also rise their own children that is too difficult fot them

    Actually as I know that two are better than one for sure. The reason is they can take care of each other, and for some reasons, parents will not pay much attention on both of them. To bring up one child is to bring up, two is the same thing, in some cases, it will even be easier.
