Population is Booming

Does it seem crowded these days? Hehe I mean figuratively speaking. Well, the world is becoming very crowded, growing at the fastest rate in history and perhaps too fast for its own good. According to a report issued by the United Nations Population Division the world's population will increase by a whopping 40% to 9.1 billion in the year 2050.
And to make matters worse, the growth will almost all be in the already impoverished and overcrowded 50 poorest third world countries. The report said those 50 countries will jump from a population of 5.3 billion today to 7.8 billion in 2050. In contrast, the population of the wealthy nations will remain the same. The division director, Hania Zlotnik said, "It is going to put a strain on the world."
This is because those countries have a massive population of uneducated people, inadequate housing, disease epidemics, poor or corrupt government, little or no birth control, and fanatical ideologies that threaten the stability of the rest of the world. Ironically, immigration from the poor countries to the wealthier ones will keep the wealthy from having a net loss of population. Yet, the type of immigrants that come will create more problems for the wealthy nations as they try to absorb the largely illegal and uneducated population. The United States, always the recipient of more illegals than it can handle, is projected to be the major recipient of those immigrants, getting 1.1 annually, with our population growing from 298 million to 394 million in just 45 years. As for which countries will have the highest population growth in the next 45 years, they are: India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Congo, Bangladesh, Uganda, United States (because of the massive illegal immigration), Ethiopia and China.
Those countries will make up almost half of the world increase in population. Too India will become the world's most populated nation, surpassing China, because of the increased birth rate there (and the fact that birth control is almost unknown).
One sad note is the decline in life expectancy Southern Africa will experience Because of the AIDs prevalence there, life expectancy has fallen from 62 years in 1995 to 48 years in 2005, and is projected to decrease further to 43 years within the next decade. The implication of all this is to focus on those poor countries instituting birth control and stopping the massive illegal immigration. But don't bet on that happening.
