DAR es SALAAM (Reuters) - President John Magufuli urged Tanzania's women to "set your ovaries free" and bear more children as a way to help boost the economy into a regional powerhouse, a step critics said would instead worsen inequality and poverty.
"When you have a big population you build the economy. That's why China's economy is so huge," he said late on Tuesday, citing India and Nigeria as other examples of countries that gained from a demographic dividend.
"I know that those who like to block ovaries will complain about my remarks. Set your ovaries free, let them block theirs," he told a gathering in his home town of Chato.
