Document Summary
Subsaharn africa is growing at a startling rate, many young people- by 2050 there will be 1/3rd more africans more than europe as a whole. Environmental and economic refugees- forests are disappearing at the fastest rate in the world, not enough to support the population. Growth is paralyzing ecosystems and farmers- there are many farmers in africa so this would be very bad. Birth control is becoming more popular in africa. For this first time in modern history, death rates are rising and not falling- because of sti"s etc. Aids and population growth is linked in africa. Women drop out of educational programs to support their families but they don"t have skills so they beg or prostitute. People between 20 and 60 are dying off rapidly. Women who need to turn to prostitution to support their family get more money for sec without a condom and then they too get aids and die.
