This might be a double definition.

'problems' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'lots of children' is the second definition.

Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for issues that I've seen before include "Questions to be resolved" , "Brings out a publication" , "collected numbers" , "Individual editions" , "'Editions, publications (6)'" .)
