World population is expected to increase by 1 billion in 12 years.
Most of the population growth are expected happen in Less Economically
Developed Country(LEDC).
Example LEDC : Africa, India, Indonesia, Pakistan, Philippines, Nigeria, Mali,
Uganda etc.
Meanwhile, population growth in More Economically Developed
Country(MEDC) expected not much difference. If it rapidly growth, it might
occur because of Migration.
Example MEDC : United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Europe
etc

Population growth rates vary significantly across different regions and countries
due to factors like fertility rates, mortality rates, migration patterns, economic
development levels, access to healthcare, and cultural norms, meaning some areas
experience rapid population growth while others see slower growth or even
decline.
Examples of varying population growth rates:
High growth regions: Sub-Saharan Africa generally experiences the highest
population growth rates due to high fertility rates.
Moderate growth regions: South Asia and Latin America tend to have moderate
population growth.
Low growth regions: Europe and North America generally have low or even
declining population growth due to lower fertility rates.

THEIR CULTURE TO HAVE MANY CHILDREN. SURVEYED HAS BEEN MADE, THE
RATIO OF BIRTH PER WOMEN IS 7:1 WHICH MEANS, ONE WOMEN WILL GIVING
BIRTH ATLEAST 7 CHILDREN AND SOME OF IT MAKE IT 9 CHILDREN AS NORMAL
