poverty are linked.W omen areaffected most by poor-care systems,especially pregnant women.The second job we have to do,as many of you can guess,is to reduce birthrates.W e have found that when given a choice,poor people in developingcountries have fewer children than their parents dis.A possible reason forthis is probably that smaller families have fewer expenses and more chancesof increasing their
