  Part of the reason that the world's population is increasing is that people are living longer. That's a good thing right?
  Poorer communities have always had large families for various reasons including the fact that child infant mortality and mortality in early years through disease is higher in poor countries.
  The one single factor that is guaranteed to bring down world population is wealth.
  Developing nations reach a point where they consider themselves at a point where they no longer need large families for the above reason and find themselves enjoying the fruits of their wealth. Having stable employment also ensures this.
  This is why the richer western and other developed nations have very low birth rates which create a demographic time bomb whereby there are not the young to keep the old in the lifestyle they are accustomed to.
  People worry too much about this issue. Mankind has always managed to overcome problems concerning population increases. There have been worries about this for years and years.
  I guess we all need something to worry about.
