Abstract: Large families in rural areas causes pressure on natural resources, an upsurge of inter-community conflicts. Anecdotal evidence suggests that one reason for large families is the value of children as a source of labor.This research determines the marginal change in household productivity with respect to traction animals and the number of young people in the household.
