my theory is not new - it's acctually been said.
i always thought that birth control is the best way to keep population growth low and achieve economic development.
i have changed my mind - if I do not have kids or only one kid and every other well educated person in egypt has only one kid - while the bawaab ( concierge) and the guy who picks up the trash keep on having 1/2 a dozzen kids then then there's no way the can achieve any growth!
so the key is - we should have a lot of kids who can work and be good productive citizens of the community.
so 2 things:
if i am president i will set a limit of every couple depending on thier income and wealth! wealthy couples with a collgege degree can have as many kids as they want - the bawaab can only have one!
the second thing is - i think i may even have kids myself . if i can't be president, i will give birth to one. i can give birth to 3 or 4 well educated change agents that would do something good in their life
so i won't get all the glory, but who cares! as long as the work gets done!

Hey,
Someone is mean here.
Why to limit number of kids? Someone needs to earn money and help in garden, so it's better to have bunch of little helpers. Isn't?
Best strategy would be raising funds to provide education to kids from poor families. And of course to improve lifes of those families itself.

well Ms. President :)
I think that will be one tough decision to limit child birth to poor people. You wont be popular and probably wont be president for long.
The key of economic development in Egypt in the long run, is through the revision of our educational system. Interms of quantity and quality. Better education, combined with opportunities should leed to strong economic growth.
All the way from Canada,
