The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Jonathan Swift said his proposal will prevent poor children, the sons and daughters of poor people, from being a heavy burden to their parents. He also thought that these children could be of some benefit to the country. The author considered in the book that the streets of Dublin, Ireland, are full of beggars, of poor people with small children asking for money.
We are talking about the book "A Modest Proposal," written by Jonathan Swift in 1729. Swift (1866-1745) was a prominent Irish writer, famous for their satirist works. He was the author of renown works such as "Gulliver Travels" of 1726 and "A Tale of Tube" of 1704.
His proposal is to fatten up the undernourished children and feed them to Ireland's rich land-owners. Children of the poor could be sold into a meat market at the age of one and combating overpopulation and unemployment, sparing families the expense of child-bearing while providing them with a little extra income, improving the culinary experience of the wealthy, and contributing to the overall economic well-being of the nation.
