Plus, these people have likely had to sell off inherited agricultural land in pursuit of the glamourous life promised by the taxi aggregators. I imagine once all this money-printing madness (VC money is often from places with lots of "funny money") gets over a lot of people will move back to their rural lives - which I've to say has a lot more quality compared to the city (modulo the power cuts/sanitation/ general lack of technology.... but this is getting better by the day).

Interestingly a lot of them I’ve spoken have said that they just want to give it all up and move back to their village and farm.

The more time they spend in cities , the more they realise how much freedom and happiness they have

They’ve realised that even if they don’t make as much money in a farm, it keeps them happy and it gives them food.

Of course we should have empathy. That being said why do you have 4-5 kids if you know you can't properly support them? That seems incredibly irresponsible.

Family size may be a holdover or maintenance of a tradition that was once needed due to infant or child mortality and agricultural practices that require manual labor.
