In Nepal's context, there are two major players/factors -
1. Societal Pressure - You must have babies if you are married. Sometimes these take ugly turn (second marriages by husband - even if you have a kid i.e. daughter and they want son or infidelity by a spouse).
2. Agarian culture - more kids means more hands in the fields (This applies to most developing nations).
Ecological Footprint indicates a nations use of resources - How come US (~300 millions) use more resources than India (~1.2 billions)?
Nonetheless, it is better not to have babies if you cannot afford or if you want have 1 or 2.
I bet ya'all have seen spanish familes in US have at least 4 kids - I wish these families would change their attitudes too.
