human population growth

ok, i'm going to summarize part of this with the difference between a more developed nation with no overpopulation (sweden) with one that's less developed and has population issues (mexico)






notice how in sweden the death rate fell coinciding with the industrial revolution. but more importantly, the birth rate gradually fell so that they are now more or less at equilibrium, an example of responsible population management.





so, mexico is very different. the death rate fell, too, but look at how the birth rate is still very high. the rate of natural increase is much much higher, and this puts a lot of strain on the entire population - mexico is definitely not one of the more well-off countries.
