should the jobless have children

Having parental responsibility means that you have the right to make imperative decisions about your child's life in the areas like medical treatment and education. But it also means that you have the responsibility to financially support that child at least until the end of high school. Financial responsibility of a parent is also indispensable for many other reasons, but it has been the only means by which a parent can maintain control over their children. when a parent is unemployed this not only reduce the standard of living and can be detrimental to the child's future. The issue of unemployment and pregnancy is of interest for several reasons, since it is a marker of socioeconomic status a potential marker of stress. An unemployed person usually require more health services than their employed counterparts. I have felt to forewarn that it makes no sense to have a child if both parents are unemployed.

In a perfect world what you are saying is totally correct. If you sit down and plan things out then no you should not have a child if you are not employed. Unfortunately, these things can not be planned and sometimes happen due to lack of planning.

You make some interesting comments. What prompted you to think and write about this issue?

Jessie there is a lot to this article but I will try to keep it simple.When one look at a young lady in her early 20's having 4 or 6 kids and not working. This pressure will be on those that are working to provide food and health care for that family. She will not be able to provide the essential things of life for those children. Achild need more than just food, how is she going to love each when the oldest might be 6years or younger.
