Global Population Problem of Developing Countries

Abstract

The population projection for the world and the two major continents namely Asia and Africa are indicated. The fact that about 80 percent of the world's population is likely to live only in the two major contients namely Asia and Africa. Moderate increase in population is expected prevail in South and North American countries. The increase in population in Europe, Soviet and Oceania represent a low and stable in crease.
The population potential rate (PTM/METSM) for Asia are 1.09 and 1.24 respectively. The population potential rate for Africa is greater than Asia, which implies that Africa will face to a serious environmental threat.
