        Europe can close it door but it has no right to dish out population control on Africa. Enough damage is done on Africa.

        On a household level, multiple children means more mouths to feed and more kids to educate. Household income spread thin.

        Contraception is not the root of migration rather poor standard of living. Invest heavily in Africa and the problem is curbed.
