Yes, they are encouraged. At least those who live in poor areas. I've known of 21 or 22 year old girls who are desperate to have a child because they feel they are getting too old for it. They are even willing to conceive that child with any man (yes, any) who seems to be more or less responsible enough to provide basic stuff for the baby.
Others do it because having the child of the barrio alpha male is a status symbol in the barrio. And yet others do it in order to live off the benefits they get from the father once they get pregnant.
Lack of education, lack of culture, lack of proper values and lack of better things to do with their lives are a problem in some sectors of DR population.
Why does every Dominican Chica seem to have one or 2 kids already by the age of 21 and generally single?
Is this a cultural thing, encouraged to have kids at all costs and can barely support?
Don't they realize how that affects their value to future guys ????
Yeah its really annoying actually, - especially when you meet a really nice one - only to find out that she' has a couple of ninos already.
not every dominicana. just poor and dumb ones. the sex life starts early here and the contraception is often limited to counting on the mercy of the lord. and fathers just don't care. all that counts is to spawn an offspring as the proof of their masculine power. paying for the child and hanging around is not macho.

What is a "barrio Rat"? Would Fruisa be considered a barrio?
They may lack positive role models, but why don't negative role models act as a deterrent?
Next time you are in Fruisa instead of turning right at the Texaco station coming from the Plaza Bavaro area go straight a bit and you will see a barrio.
because they are not considered as negative? look at the baby, so CUTE! now i want one too!
