Not looking to scaremonger. You see many people on social media, usually trump supporters that think their race is under attack.
But the differences are startling. You do wonder what the world will look like in 200/300 years time.
Population increases since 1960:
UK
1960: 52 million
2013: 64 million
India
1960: 449 million
2013: 1.25 billion
Pakistan
1960: 45 million
2013: 182 million.
Bangladesh
1960: 50 million
2013: 156 million
France
1960: 46 million
2013: 66 million
Turkey
1960: 27 million
2013: 74 million
Germany
1960: 72 million
2013: 80 million
Egypt

Granted China and America have seen huge rises in populations. Migration being a major factor in america.
Is it due to living standards?. I don't really think so.
Japans population has stalled and is almost dropping. European countries are moving at a snails pace.
Then Middle Eastern and some poor east Asian countries are rapidly increases.
Are they at illogical levels?.
Religion plays a major part again really doesn't it. Abortions is forbidden in Islam. And many of the countries with the biggest rises are 95%+ muslim. Some Christians etc also say the same, but not to the same degree.
When you are told from birth that abortions are wrong, you will probably end up have a few kids won't you?.
It isn't hard.
If you are poor. With a extremely unstable career and lifestyle. In a place where you cannot be confident of providing a decent life for a child.
Do not have 5 kids.
There is a stigma attached to people in Europe about having over 5 children I think. Many Middle Eastern people actively look to achieve it from what I've seen.
