This country has too many babies.
The West African nation of Niger has the highest annual growth rate in the world, at 3.8%. The average Nigerien women has 7.2 babies.
If they continue reproducing at this speed, then their population is expected to TRIPLE by the year 2050, from 21 million to 63 million people. Right now, more than half of the society is under 15 years old.
These statistics are alarming.
What are you thoughts about overpopulation? Did you even know that this is happening in Niger (and all over West Africa?)

No dude, they’re gonna keep fucking.
They’ll slow down. But they will keep breeding A LOT.
They’re gonna be overpopulated quickly.
And even more kids!
Hahaha you got something wrong dear
I don't think it's a good idea to have 7 kids per women. It's over population.
And they try to move to developed countries
@i love games No, God doesn't make people have more unprotected sex. If people want to stop having kids, they can do it very easily.
@i love games ooo my God. Its the second time i read these kinds of comments. God gave you a braind and you should use it. If you cant take care of your kids dont make them. If you cant take care of you first born and how can you take care of ur 2nd 3rd and so on? Its simple just use ur brain a little.

Although I appreciate Drew’s efforts to visit, make a video and share about life in Niger, as a returned Peace Corps volunteer in Niger, what is not mentioned is that people are happy. They smile and laugh and gossip as they work hard at daily life, to provide for their wealth in children. “Sannu, sannu, bata hannar zua”
thank you for focusing on west africa ❤️❤️
You say thay, yet you wouldn't live like they do
@@prometheusjackson8787 What is your point? I mean, yes, poverty isn't good, but I think she's saying that poverty isn't all doom and gloom, and that there are many happy moments even without material possessions.
Many women in the world wants fewer kids but don't have access to and knowledge about Family planning. Providing family planning to those who want it is a very good way to make the world better.
so you fuck jave 1 kid and after the 5th you did not learn what the fuck happens ?
lol peoole like you make the world a shit hole because you have no moral compás
It’s Niger 🇳🇪 and not Nigeria 🇳🇬

@@mysteresdelhumanite i think it has nothing to do with islam if you see some muslim majority nations not in africa you could see that the population are just normal. it probably something to do in african cultures
@@Ahaaka1 i belive it's a mixture of both, as we can see in this video this woman is neglecting her children ( two passed away.. They should learn that having 1 or 2 kids in good health with better standard of living, is better than 7 in poor conditions with some dying in many families) i say that it's a mixture of both since islam, is a polygamistic relgion, they encourage fathers to wed more than one woman and therefore to have more kids, remember that theses stats takes into account how may childrends woman have but not how many father's have, this also plays a role
@@mysteresdelhumanite lol nice joke
@@vex8133 ok man, if you say so, you just bothered replying "nice joke", i argumented, so give me some arguments to prove me wrong no?
@@mysteresdelhumanite Totally agree with you.
I just hope their fertility rate will go down even without government intervention... my country philippines used to have 7.5 per woman in 1950 but it falls naturally to 3.0 today 2020...... even without family planning program... our neighbors have family program like thailand from 6.0 to 1.6 , korea 6.2 to 1.0 and vietnam 6.6 to 1.8
k 1 is way to low same for 1.6 and 1.8. Thats when ur population will decline
Philippine fertility rate is actually around 2.5-2.6 now. Declining much faster in recent years
@@jerryberry5480 it's actually a good thing for now because the country is too populated for it's size.
Having so much children while being poor is bad
Well,you get children if youre poor. Look at the average amount of kids people country and you'll see that.
So easy to say while you live in a rich country... go and fuck off please
Poor people have the most children and depend on us middle class and rich to help them.
@@juantamayo5295 they are just saying they shouldn't have that many children if they don't have enough money to take care of them. They are 100% right 💀 not having children is the easiest thing ever lol

Land of babies fuck that's so prototypical lol lol haha

I love your videos, thought provoking as well giving you a beautiful sense of the country. The end parts ( 4:14 ) are just so revealing - people in the West aren't as naturally expressive - Nigeriens (Nigerois) are so cool!
Imagine being so poor you cannot feed yourself but you still have 10 children. They are so irresponsible
It's a dangerous mix of average low IQ and 1st world handouts and "intervention". Thus leading to a ballooning population that is unable to look after itself and is destined to be country with a majority underclass.
As the world population is aging and shrinking
Africa will be the savior that will fix the economic issues of low birth rates in Asia and Europe and America
Be happy that at least some places still produce enough babies
They cannot afford to even have 1 and yet they keep having babies...

You know it's not that simple. Especially in countries without infrastructure that supports real family planning. Not even all of the US has access to real choices in these matters. There are places where it's taboo to even talk about condoms or birth control. It's religion over science on most of the planet. That has hurt mankind exponentially.
God always showed the way bro, believe to god not human
@@anissacisneros4889 it's mind blowing to me that people don't consider this. Women in the US were having just as many babies per woman when women didn't have any rights, access to birth control, or access to safe abortions. A country filled with women having 7+ kids is not something you can solve with "stop having so many babies".
I agree I don't know why poor people have so many kids
@@naabiil9834 great, I'm going to stop paying my mortgage and just yell out "God will take care of it" sorry but life doesn't work that way

People in the past especially in my country Mauritius used to believe that making babies makes you richer then people realized it is not the case. Now Mauritius is among the best countries of Africa with an avg 2 children per couple.

In ancient times, large families means more blessings with the influence of religions, manpower in fields etc. But at this scenario it is quite an opposite and this tradition will cause a serious threat in the near future because countries especially from underdeveloped and developing have to look after and feed the general population which is a serious issue in the part of Government.
I wish people starts educating each other about population explosion so that this world will see less malnutrition, hunger, crimes etc. I really hope the higher authority brings awareness (not threatened or Govt policy) to the people.
Always love your vids drew!!
Drew u should prepare question while u interview anyone in ur channel
Niger story pretty similar like my motherland Malaysia 30 years back. Back in 80s, it was normal for a couple to have 5 or more kids. I myself have 8 siblings and thanks God, all of us graduated from University and have a career. We are now expanding our parents legacy with 25 grandkids😂 It is okay to have many kids as long as you can provide them good living and proper upbringing

Overpopulation is sadly a rarely discussed problem
Germany lost the war because they ran out of manpower because their population was small compared to enemy countries.
@@eliasziad7864before ww1 the Population of Germany grew faster than the Rest of the World. Population Growth in China, India and Africa was lower than in Germany until 1914.

@@eliasziad7864From 1896 to 1914 the Population of Germany grew by almost 1.4 % a year despite Emigration. In China, India at the Begin of the 20th Century Famine and Disease was widespread.

I don't know how to blink
probably why my eyeballs are completely melted, cuz i never learned how to, maybe if I listened in class, i wouldn't be in this situation.

Meanwhile, Japan and other countries have a shrinking population.

There are also health benefits of having fewer babies and/or having them a few years apart. The mothers get healthier and are less likely to die.
JE stfu a less population isn’t good either, also the whole small population thing is propoganda by old white people too be able too control people easier
I had my children 2.5 years apart. I have 5. My health is not that of a typical 30 year old white American.

Really good video
It's mad annoying bringing in children into the world w no contingency plan or the financial means to take care of them. Subjecting them into poverty. Terrible mentality

@@cabdixirsi8292 Well, in this case, he's absolutely right.
Islamic mentality
3:28 mistake, it says "drught" but it's actually "drought"
All have very nice well fed shiny faces..and looking very happy
Personally, I believe that while all children are blessings, we as adults have to be very mindful not to bring so many kids into unfortunate situations and further contributing to overpopulation. There may still be large land masses on Earth but the amount of habitable land is finite and the more people, the more scarce resources will become.
Drew mentions more children in Niger means more labor, but technological advances worldwide are already making some jobs obsolete, with humans being replaced by robots using artificial intelligence. Unless these children are going to be very highly skilled and/or in specialized industries (which will be unlikely given they struggle to even get basic education) the available work for them, which is already decreasing, will be even less by the time they come of working age.
These people are rural ,they NEED kids
The idea that resources and work are measurably finite is tempting to believe, but good science says otherwise. Innovation has made scarce resources more abundant and continues to do so. The modern world produces more food, housing, security, and technology than ever before and it’s dependent on a large working population. See the work cited in “Superabundnace” by Gale Pooley.
Drew: this country has too many babies
*CHINA HAS LEFT THE CHAT*
they have a lot of people not babies
China birth rate 1.6
Atleast china is cleaner
At least China believes in innovation
If u guys are living in poverty , why are u making the ur financial situation even worse by giving birth to 3+ kids ?

@@ajvaa9479 more children = more income
I don't promote overpopulation l but unlike some cultures where your kids dump you in a nursing home and poison you so you die quicker or something, these kids actually grow up to take care of thier parents and siblings. That lady has been to Pilgrimage while I living in UK with one child cannot even think of affording the trip...7 though no way JOSÉ!!!

When you get older your kids take care of you. And everybody watches and helps out everybody else.
Will you meet Abdoul a second time if you go to Mali?
Hey have you been in the Gambia before
My grandmother had 12 brothers and sisters, all of them suffered, some of the children raised each other, none of them had educations, and most of the time they barely had food. The justification was that god wanted her to have kids, no god would want you to have kids that only suffer. The people seems nice, but the countries mind set is responsible.
*irresponsible I'm sure you meant. The sooner these people stop believing that everything and everyone has a purpose, the sooner they will take responsibility for their own actions and reform their country. These people fail to take responsibility by placing it elsewhere.
Beautiful people ❤❤❤
I don't think they really want kids, they just don't know how not to have them.
Many of them seem burdened by all these kids, but feel stuck !
Men wanting sex without thinking of the consequences. Not just the burden of more children but the health risk they put their wives at. Giving birth is one of the biggest killers of women in the 3rd world, that and pregnancy complications.

Many of these women often don't have the choice to not have sex with their husbands in some countries and it's depressing as fuck. Most have no access to birth control to prevent pregnancy and on top of that their society expect them to satisfy their husbands.
