    Two-thirds of all the inhabitants of planet earth live in countries where the fertility rate does not even reach the replacement rate, i.e. 2.1 births per woman of childbearing age. However, things are completely different in Africa. The forgotten continent is experiencing the biggest population explosion in human history. While in 1914 Africa had only 124 million inhabitants, it is now estimated that by the end of the century, four out of every ten people living on earth may be African. In this video we tell you all the details about a revolution that could completely change our world.

    Zambia went from 6.2 in 2007 to 4.7 in 2018
    African fertility rate saw a shocking decline in the last 10 years. A LOT can change in 50 and is changing. Korea had a fertility rate of 6.33 in 1955, but it had a TFR of only 1,08 in 2005. China is similar, it had a tfr of 6 children per women in 1955 but only 1.51 in 2005 (and this number is probably an exaggeration) Humanity might reach its peak in our lifetimes.

      THE WEST tied food to birth control.
      I saw a video on CZcams; trying to explain why Asia is short of females'; which lead to why Korea dropped. Korean women in a certain age explained they had to take the pill in order to EAT.
      Remember people use to ADOPT children from Korea.
      Puerto rico population was larger that 18 USA states: Puerto Rico was ground zero to create the birth control pill.

    Maybe there's one point that you forgot and that is: the more chances women get to pursue a study and a career, the less children they tend to want. The reason for that is pretty simple: it's pretty hard to be an astrofysicus and at the same time raise 9 children.
    So, it all depends in what way Africa is evolving. Are they going to stay mostly rural and farmer oriented or are they going to be more education/career oriented? If they evolve in the rural direction, then they will indeed have a lot of children and a big population growth, but it could turn out the other way as well.

    This video seems to me as too optimistic. For start, is the continent ready for the population increase? According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, “Africa imported about 85% of its food (2016-2018) from outside the continent,” amounting to $35bn and is expected to reach $110bn by 2025. The future for Africa will be quite a challange. This population increase is not just a positive dynamic.

    • @JAN0L
      @JAN0L Před rokem +47

      The 85% most likely refers to the percentage of imports. Most countries still grow their own food, just of the food each country imports most comes from outside Africa rather than other African countries.
      There's no way 85% of the total food they eat comes from outside Africa. They don't have economy or the logistics capacity to actually buy and transport all this food.

    It is a big part of many tribes/nations culture but that's always been the case through every civilization in human history.
    No woman wants the burden of having that many children if they can focus on a meaningful career and life for a smaller family instead.

      Maybe the 'biblical scale starvation' you and other practitioners of Collective Antipathy foresee, and planned for, is a case of Manifest Destiny or, as the glaciers rapidly melt, methane levels rise to near self-sterilizing levels, and Magnetic North returns to its location before the start of the Younger Dryas, near Hudson Bay, precisely the 'Destiny That You Have Manifested'.

      As you have not broken them either and probably don't even know what they are, I will 'Expand Your Perception' to include these little-mentioned facts.
      The "9 Perception Limiting Components of Collective Antipathy", which are ALWAYS PRACTICED TOGETHER, are 1) White Supremacy, 2) Patriarchy, 3) killer-god religions and related ideologies that embrace the concept of 'Chosen and Not Chosen' people, 4) Genocide, 5) Empire, 6) Ritualized homosexuality and Child Abuse, 7) Avarice, 8) (wage) Slavery, and 9) Constant Warfare.
      By the way, EVERYONE ON EARTH is either 100% African or 97.55 to 99% African. Genotype is anterior to and regulates ALL phenotypes and haplogroups. You and I carry 1-2.45% Neanderthal genes. Therefore, we are, genotypically, Homo Sapien/Neanderthal hybrids.
      The difference between you and me is that I EMBRACE 100% of myself, and you REJECT the 97.55 to 99% of yourself that you would not be human without. (that's pathological)
      As the glaciers rapidly melt, Mass Extinctions multiply, man-induced natural disasters proliferate, methane levels rise to near self-sterilizing rates for some, and the Magnetic North Pole returns to its location before the start of the Younger Dryas, near Hudson Bay, blaming Black people won't reverse what practitioners of Collective Antipathy created. The pathological nature of your mindset, which has always been oppressive, and frequently genocidal, is now imminently massively self-destructive.
      You have little time left to become a "Civilized Being" rather than exiting as a "Technologically Advanced Savage".
      The key to our survival and the "Next Level of Civilization" is so simple and yet a 'bridge too far' for many to cross.
      All you have to do is EMBRACE 100% OF YOURSELF, REJECT Collective Antipathy in all its forms, and embrace the 'Primordial' Organizing Principle... "Collective Empathy for ALL Spirits based on Expanded Perception of the One Law"

    just because it has a low population density this doesn't mean it can sustain all these people. Agricultural investments within the continent needs to occur to a great extent before any great industrial boom can take place. Furthermore, the level of education in Africa and infrastructure would make it so Africa would be little more than a manufacturing hub centred around larger coastal cities which isn't feasible for development.

    I missed some nuance in this. When population growth excedes economic growth, you typically get a labour surplus (an estimated 10 to 12 million africans join the labour force each year, while only 3 million jobs are created on the continent annually). This means high unemployment rates and lower wages (and a lowering of the standard of living). This is usually helped by migration to places where there are labour shortages (like the European migration to the United States in the 19th century), but in the case of Africa today it also generates a brain drain. In other words, if a population grows to fast, it can be a burden on 'real' economic growth.

    The problem in the west is that women cannot focus on having a career and children simultaneously, causing birth rates to decrease, especially with the disintegration of a nuclear family (two parents and their children) and the cultural push for women to enter the workforce. One contributing factor to the gender pay gap is the result of women pausing their careers to raise children.
    Suppose western countries want to increase their birth rate. In that case, more support needs to be provided to parents to raise their children (paid parental leave, childcare programs, reduced medical costs associated with pregnancy and early development, etc.), and both men and women need to be seen as equals not only in the workplace but also at home, so the burdens to have children are reduced.

How many child soldiers have been created since the 1960s because they were readily available to the local warlord?

      And it talks about population density as if land is the only thing humans need to survive. The quality of land is also important.. the Sahara is a lot of land but you can’t grow crops.. same with the rainforests..

      @@garyish Complete agreement. Case in point is Japan. Much of the country is mountainous and not useful for either farming or living. But what suitable land there is benefits from hyper-rich volcanic soils making the few crops they do produce domestically some of the most productive in the world.

    There's a few problems/challenges with this prediction:
    1) 'Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth in a finite environment is either a madman or an economist'. Once we hit peak oil, the biggest bubble in human history (population) will burst
    2) Atomization is going to take 50% of the jobs by 2050
    3) Global warming. If the temperature's continue to rise the way they are, vast regions of that continent along with other parts of the world won't be habitable

      You got that totally wrong, there are TOO MANY GREEDY PEOPLE WITH GUNS AND MALEVOLENT INTENTIONS ON THE PLANET. Africa's population is increasing IN SPITE OF eugenic-like policies' instituted by Western countries across the continent.
      What YOU should really be concerned about is WHY YOUR viable sperm counts have fallen 47% over the past 25 years and continue to drop annually, even though you supposedly have the most resources. Banning abortion and sponsoring Constant Warfare won't get your birthrates above 2.1.
      Maybe the 'biblical scale starvation' you and other practitioners of Collective Antipathy foresee, and planned for, is a case of Manifest Destiny or, as the glaciers rapidly melt, methane levels rise to near self-sterilizing levels, and Magnetic North returns to its location before the start of the Younger Dryas, near Hudson Bay, precisely the 'Destiny That You Have Manifested'.

      yes and also a really young work force, so if many nations has more old people than young people, where do you think the younger work force will come from.
      Japan is an example of a country starting to hit critical point because of a lack of young people.
