Topic: Whether Getting Married At a Young Age Can Lead To Poverty And Make Poor Economy - page 12. (Read 2448 times)

As for me I think getting married at a young age is very bad. Marriage is not for kids, that’s why many marriages today are facing serious problems and there are so many break-ups/divorce. It takes wisdom, love and understanding to build such a relationship, it’s not something that you can just jump into anyhow, you first need to grow up and get a job and be in a position of being able to take care of yourself and your future family. So I don’t like seeing young people getting married while they have nothing doing. It’s only useless set of people that does that.

absolutely nothing to do, marry your young and your economy.
the main problem in young usis marriage I think only one, that is the couple's maturity factor.

Usually, someone who got married he will do anything (positive ack) to gain money. He has a burden that the costs to be incurred, so there is no other way other than to get money to finance his dependents.

And there is nothing wrong for someone who is a young marriage before he decides to get married they must have a way to keep earning money for their lives, or they already have a permanent job so they decide to get married.

The world is vast, it will not make things crowded if someone has many children. And for criminal matters, you can't convince that. If someone has a sufficient and capable in economy's matter and they can provide good education to their children, I think that crime will not expand, because the main factor in someone committing a crime is the economic situation.

Age criteria is good but I think that early marriage will make the persons more responsible as the responsible burden will start and he won't be misguided like what alone people's do. About the children then even if you are marrying late also you can produce more children so I think age is not matter in population.

Wow you really got a point here. Kudos! Anyone that can’t feed themselves or feed extra three or four people and more is not fit for marriage. Marriage holds a lot of responsibilities, you’ve got kids to feed and you also got to pay school fees, hospital bills and a lot more of them.

It’s not easy, so anyone going for that should be really prepared and be someone that is making proper earning daily or monthly. And as you said, ages 25 and 26 are best for getting married as long as you’re financially fit or should I say financially okay, whatever.

People getting married at a young age is not a determination that they would be rich or determine that they would live in abject poverty. They are two distinct unrelated variables that should not even be compared at any point. You don't even need to have money to have a relation neither is it needed to impregnate or be impregnated. That is the way it was designed. Poverty at the same time is not a justification that crime would abound. I have seen people from penury background or humble background with no status in the society go ahead to be leaders to the extent of being presidents of countries so also I have seen rich kids become nuisance after they have wasted their lives on drugs.

The solution is on the individual. If you know your economic status can only support one child, stick to that, if it can support six children, by all means go for it. Ensure that they don't become burden to the society. Concerning the resources fear, competition would bring out initiative which is what the world need.

The country's economy develops and increases the elite this country. Simple people in no way can affect the development of the country's economy.

Hi, i think this topic is really irrelevant to answer here on this section anyways i would like to answer that marriaging at the young age has anything to do with the economy and if you research then you will to know that marriaging at the young age doesn't show negative signs infact it has positive effects on the economy and also on personal life.

You're very pessimistic about having children.What was the reason for such a negative attitude?Are you tired of waiting in line for bread?In fact, there is enough space on the planet Earth for everyone.The main thing is to properly allocate resources and protect Nature.1 000 000 greedy people living under the motto, after me though the flood, will make much more trouble than 1 billion honest, kind and decent people who love Nature and do not pollute it.

Actually it doesn't matter if you marry young, but mentally if they marry young, are they ready or not to deal with future needs and life in marriage.
I think there is no solution for this because marriage can be done secretly.

Getting married is indeed a great responsibility and that you need to only go for this once you are this much financially stable that you can take care of all the expenditures of your family then. Getting married after having some permanent job and a source of income is much better than that of getting married at an early age with nothing in your pocket to feed anyone.

I think we can marry at a younger age if we are financially capable of supporting a family. This only means that we can financially manage ourselves and our future family, then, why not marry regardless of age. People who marry and have a family at a young age who are not well prepared will surely have a difficulty in providing the needs (education, clothing, etc.). this is why the a government needs to have good quality education so that the new generation will be matured, responsible and competitive in the industry or with their specialized field. That will sooner lead to a better economy. 

Let me share my story on this matter. I got married when I was 18 and my husband was 20 at that time. We were both students in a developing country with no jobs. The only money we had were our university scholarships (about $40 per month each), which is nothing even in our country. As we got married, we decided we'd like to live together. We found part-time jobs as translators and slowly started to earn more money, while continuing to study. Our families supported us a bit financially, assisting with costs to pay the rent. In one year we started earning enough to be self-sufficient, so our families stopped providing us with financial support. We lived another year not only paying all our bills, but also saving some small amounts of money each month. We spent the savings on our trip to Budapest as well as some university expenses, as my husband was accepted to CEU MA program. This September we are moving there for a year. He will receive a small monthly scholarship there and I already found a job that will cover our monthly expenses. A solid part of our success was played by bitcointalk, by the way, as my job in signature campaigns over the last year was our main source of income and the experience with cryptos I got because of it helped me get a  job in Budapest without speaking any Hungarian.
If we didn't get married a bit more than 2 years ago, we would still have no motivation to earn money. We would live with our parents, concentrating only on studying at our home university and thinking that we couldn't do more. Now we are able to make various decisions, live on our own and pay our bills as well as save some money for the future.
Almost everyone was against our marriage, even though we were both from good families, had no bad habits and were top students in the top university in our country. People kept telling us that we should first have good jobs and some life experience and then choose who to marry. Our marriage sparkled many family conflicts and the financial support we were getting was actually only $150 per month, because they didn't hate us enough to let us die from starvation. After these hard two years, our marriage is perfect and a lot of people start to see our potential. Our relatives are trying to invest some money in us now, because they feel like we can get very rich in the future. I don't know about that, but getting married at a fairly young age was the best decision I made so far.
Our small family is currently our top priority. This means that if one is accepted to study somewhere, we both move to that country. Some consider it irrational, as a lonely person can achieve more, since there's no need to take someone else into consideration. I think that it is better to be less economically successful, but live with someone you love. And if your marriage is good enough to overcome various problems, you will figure out how to be both together and successful eventually.

I think young marriages don't undermine economical situation of a certain country, it's a stereotype nowadays, that young people can't live a serious life and take care of themselves. Actually, I think it's quite the opposite: whenever young people start a family they learn to grow up and begin to seek for a job, try to become successful, which reduces the level of unemployment in country. Meanwhile people who aren't getting married can stay with their parents till their late 30's and don't work for the government's good.
The issue of the overpopulation is quite blurry in the modern world: lack of space for people to live? - skyscrapers, not enough space for farms?- vertical farms are on their way, possible meat deficit - scientists are working on lab grown meat right now. In any case, this problem isn't as bad, as the fact that lots of counties, especially developing category can have up to 70% of population over the age of 60, that is what really influences the economy, while younger families can reduce this number and make the overall population younger.

I am sorry to say but it would be much better if you would have referred to a certain age group then it would be very easy for all the members to express their opinion on the said topic.
I am myself confuse now whether you are talking about the age that is 20's or early(underage) marriage ? Anyway I will answer it from the age 18 and above. In my opinion marriages are not a cause of destruction or a reason of poverty. After marriage the two individuals will struggle more to empower financially for the sake of the offspring's. Everyone want to live a life with facilities and after then even if they don't they want their children to live a beautiful life. Therefore, they will hunt for economical activities in a positive manner.
Poverty is something related to the country's policies, it is a state responsibility to provide the opportunities of earning money to it's citizens.
I'll give here the example of Malaysia where there is a trend of Young age marriages and we don't see any kind of poverty there. In fact the couple becomes more serious in life, also marriage brings happiness in life.
In my opinion marriage and poverty are two different issues. One is individual while the other is of state.

if you talk about marriage at an early age, indeed in my country the law already applies a minimum age limit for marriage so at least early marriage can be controlled a little, education or counseling is needed about the negative impact of early marriage not only in terms of health but also from financially, even in a difficult economic situation right now let alone young adults who have to think again to get married if he is still not well established in economic terms, in my country there is now a culture where many families leave their children to their grandmothers on the grounds that his father and mother the child had to work because of economic pressure and lifestyle demands, they felt entrusting their children to their grandmother was safer and certainly more efficient than having to hire a child caregiver, even though they were married and had children in mature age, so what would happen if the marriage is done at early age? surely the situation is worse than this, but do you think btc can be a solution to this?

I Got your point, look there is no Young or old when it comes to love, you can marry someone at any age. it's a matter of maturity, its how prepared your heart is and if you already understand the thing that you will have if you enter the phase of being in a "MARRIAGE". have at least a savings that can will help you start to provide for your own family.

I believe in the saying that "marry when you are ready". That means regardless of age as long as you know the consequences and have a solid plan in the future of his or her family regardless of how hard the path would be. The only problem in the society today is that many couples regardless of age make decision base on emotions or self gain which in return will only destroy their family and make an impact in the economy.

A wise decision to make, but I do believed that either marrying at young age or old enough is never been a great hindrance to the economy. You see teenagers now are stubborn as hell and sometimes they can't be advise by their own parents. Learning from experience they could marry early so that they may learn to stand on their own and not do stupid things. There are so many successful man and women who are married young, they have mange to contribute to the welfare of the country.

Anyone who is unable to work and earn good money, irrespective of the state of a country's economy,  has no business getting married in the first place and procreating needlessly, whether at the age of 20 or 45 years. Marriage comes with a lot of responsibilities that only money will handle.
