The article speaks about Chad. A country where the birth rate is around 6 children / woman. I am a developer who comes from a similar country (5.7 c / w) or we are the second poorest country. One thing we have in common with the people who grew up in gethos/projets is violence. It pushes us to stop thinking about what we need beyond surviving... We are wasting time fighting against diseases, addictions, wars (gethos gangs are small compared to the war in Chad, Yemen, Middle East!) or peoples who bicker for $ 10 ... because 10 dollars in our countries is about life or death!

Nobody would ever thought that I will be one day (I who was a refugee for 4 years) an experienced developer working internationally... And the funny thing about all this is that it's UNICEF who gave me this chance [0].
