No job stability. On short-term contracts u r not permitted Maternity Leave & Financial institutions won’t approve u for a loan. Qualifying salaries for houses screams “Shack Up”. Who’s gonna be enthused to birth dependents when they’re busy keeping their own heads above water?.
Trinidad and Tobago’s birth rate has been declining over the years and is a concern according to Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh.

Chile Please!.The Jab Molassie character has been portrayed many times by persons repping TnT internationally as a cultural contingent. The shame is because this one here is missing elements. This is just a man covered in black screaming. ‘Deconstructed’ as meh friend Tillah say.
Chief Secretary Farley Augustine has defended the decision by the THA to feature a Jab Molassie Carnival character at the World Travel Market, saying people should not be ashamed of their culture on an international stage. For more.
