This cultural norm proved to be self destructive in many cultures. There are many countries in the world that exercise birth control.
- CHINA is the best known case. Established in 1979, Chinese families are fined if they have more than one child. Wealthy families can afford to pay that fine ( 3 to 10 times the household income) but poor families struggle and they often go to Singapore or emigrate to the States.

- In Pakistan, authorities are promoting child spacing by encouraging 3 years between babies, something supported by the Koran, which recommends 24 months of breastfeeding.
