So are you producing cheap labor. I mean, when you can't feed your children, those children would start working earlier. Not just that, if parents can't afford to educate their children, they would be unqualified workers at first. Which mean even lower wages.
Plus the free labor that you are giving them by doing all the caring. That saves them lots of money. Umm, I wonder, could it be possible that those evil leaders might include religious leaders? Just an honest question. I find suspicious that the Pope lives in a palace. XD
