LONDON: They say money can’t buy you love, but it seems that the green notes earn people more babies, at least that’s what a new UK research sugge
sts, which found that rich men sire more children than paupers.
The new study involved thousands of middle-aged British men. Daniel Nettle, a behavioural scientist at Newcastle University, UK, who led the new study, said that women are more likely to marry men who can provide for them and their children than penniless men.
“It’s not that if you’re richer you’ll have more children — if you’re richer you’re less likely to be childless,” New Scientist quoted him, as saying. With carefully collected figures on male and female income and fertility, Nettle found that, for men, the more money they make, the more kids they sire on average.
