*Garment workers in Bangladesh say their pay is so low that they have to steal to feed their children.

One jaw of the vice they are in is that the businesses pay them too little. The other jaw of the vice is that they have had children that they cannot afford to raise -- and they expect to go on having children regardless of whether they can afford to raise them.

To have a lasting solution for this problem, both need to change. The businesses must pay the workers a living wage, and the workers must limit their reproduction to the amount they can provide for.
