World population climbs but AIDS hits Africa hard

biz.yahoo.com

<< The relatively low global birth rate is reflected in a slowing of population rates. Ten years ago the annual increase was some 86 million people or 2.05 percent. Now it is down to about 78 million a year or 1.3 percent.

For example, Brazilian families 25 years ago had an average of 6 children but now have three. In Kenya, the birth rate dropped from 8 children a couple to four and in Vietnam the average is now three children, a 50 percent reduction. >>

Interesting figures on the drop off in the birth rates, as well as the devastating effect of aids on African life expectancy.
