In Chapter 8, we learn more about Tewolde, Mawi’s eldest brother and a central figure in this story. As the children grow to teens, Tewolde goes through libee migbar, which is a habesha phrase that means “developing a heart,” and proves Tewolde has gained emotional maturity. For example, Tewolde as a mere high school student, shows a precocious industriousness when he begins his own cleaning-service company to help the family earn money. Tewolde also shows an unusually high degree of compassion, befriending and caring for a local homeless man, among other good deeds. Tragedy strikes, however, when Tewolde, still a senior in high school, is struck and killed by a drunk driver. Losing his brother has a profound effect on Mawi, who is midway through high school at this point. Though stricken with grief, Haileab has always emphasized to Mawi the importance of education, so Mawi pushes through his sadness with hard academic work, devoting himself totally to his studies and extracurriculars. The perseverance pays off, and Mawi earns a full scholarship to one of the most prestigious educational institutions in the world: Harvard University.
Explanation:
The article provides three causes of the decline in the number of children being born.
The first cause is the reduction of mortality. If fewer children die at their youngest age, parents naturally don't need to have more babies so that more of them would survive. Also, there isn't an emotional need to "fill the void" after the death of an infant. This is the so-called risk and mortality factor.
The second cause of fertility decline is the so-called economic-and-investment model, which means how wealthy the families are, and how capable they are of distributing resources among their children. For example, owing or not owing farmland was proved to be one of the very important factors in predicting the fertility rates in a society.
The third cause is the cultural transmission, that is, the transmission of the cultural model of small families with fewer children. This transmission happens via education. However, this conclusion is not enough; education is a bridge between the cultural transmission and economic-and-investment model, as it leads to better social and financial status.
