GLOBAL POPULATION GROWTH IN ONE HUNDRED YEARS
Illustrated by countries, 1950, 2000 and
estimated for 2050
Why Poverty is unlikely to be history and why solutions are unlikely to be free trade in commodities,
migration, or migrant workers in industrialised countries sending back income
to their homelands, and why stabilisation of populations may come too late,
as populations are already exhausting
resources. The actual population figures explain why growth rates that look
harmless, like 2.6% for Mali, are actually grenades.
