mate of mine during the week said he was watching a doco on fox and said there were approx 7 million births per month in the world... thats huge 7 million new mouths to feed every month on the planet....
so google world birth rates - i actually found world fertility rates are dropping - not many countries increasing
http://data.worldban.../SP.DYN.TFRT.IN
even a lot of african countries who have huge birth numbers per woman on average... are dropping...
wiki answers give the following stats....which is more than 12 x 7 million... (for one year)
There are approximately 370,000 babies born every day worldwide. The current number of births worldwide is estimated at about 134 million per year.
either way thats a lot of people and death rate is 151,000 per day.... population grows 219,000 people per day... bit under every 5 days the world population grows by 1 million people....
so what is the biggest factor effecting declining birth rates ?
wikipedia gives a population estimate of between 3.2 billion to 24.8 billion people on the earth in the year 2150... big range gap...
http://en.wikipedia....orld_population
again this is based on declining fertility rates verses a steady fertility rate..
anyway i better ring my mate and tell him he was wrong with 7 million per month
