Birth Rate By Country 2021 by NwaNimo1(m): 11:09pm On Jan 17, 2022 |
The birth rate is the number of live births per 1,000 people in a population over a specific period of time (typically a year). It is closely intertwined with total fertility rate, which tracks the average number of children that women in a given country give birth to during their childbearing years. The birth rate varies drastically by country. The average global birth rate was 18.5 births per 1,000 people in 2019, lower than in 2007 and 2012. Birth rate and replacement rate Both birth rate and fertility rate are helpful in analyzing a country's replacement rate, which compares the rate of births and deaths in a country to determine whether the population is growing or shrinking overall. This metric is important because populations that increase or decrease too rapidly can put a strain on a country's systems, including its economy, infrastructure, social programs. The global decrease in birth rate has caused some countries to worry that their current birth rate is not enough to replace the older generation, which would lead to a population decline. Problems associated with population decline include a slowed economy, which can lead to the closing of businesses from restaurants to public transportation to schools to medical facilities. To help counteract these concerns, some governments offer financial incentives to encourage citizens to have children. Low birth rates are attributed to the high costs of raising a child, people choosing to further their careers over starting a family, and older average ages for first-time mothers. On the other hand, some countries face overpopulation and the problems associated with it, such as overcrowding, poverty, an overwhelmed health care sector, low life expectancy, and low education levels. In these circumstances, a country's government might offer incentives for people to have only one child.

chatinent:# Nigeria has the largest population in Africa. The United Nations project that the overall population of Nigeria will reach about 401.31 million by the end of the year 2050. By 2100, if current figures continue, the population of Nigeria will be over 728 million. According to the Census Bureau of the United States, the population of Nigeria will surpass that of the United States in 2047, when the population of Nigeria will reach 379.25 million. With those numbers, Nigeria will become the third most populated country in the world. The major contributors to Nigeria’s population growth are early marriages, high birth rates, and a lack of family planning access. The birth rate in Nigeria is about 37 births per 1,000 people. Nigeria Population Growth The Nigerian government has been doing its best to help curb a rapid growth in population. They have offered free contraception over the past 10 years or so and they have even started taking steps to discourage people who are looking to have large families. The government is banking on smaller families as a way to secure financial salvation in the future. They are looking toward territories like Thailand – another area with large population growth issues – as a model for their current strategy. Until the point where some success is found in these efforts, the current projections for 2050 are over 390 million total residents. Nigeria Population Projections Nigeria continues to grow faster than many other countries of similar size, but the rate is predicted to slow somewhat in the coming years with the current rate of 2.62% dwindling down to 2.04% by 2050. Nigeria's population is predicted to hit 206 million by 2020, and 264 million by 2030 - crossing the 300 million threshold around 2036. 1 Like 1 Share |

One needs no high IQ to know that high birth rate is an attribute of underdevelopment. Some nations are so poor that the major source of pleasure the citizens enjoy is sex. The major products from their factories are babies. |

Amotolongbo: Have sex is not the problem. Many people have sex and not became pregnant. The problem is the ausence of birth control. African countries don't have family planning and not offer free contraceptives. In my country the public health offer free contraceptives for women condoms and pills. I don't understand why African countries can't. Many third world countries offer contraceptives why do African countries do not? 1 Like |

Re: Birth Rate By Country 2021 by Samishiba: 8:24pm On Jan 18, 2022 |
Amotolongbo:Brazil. When Brazil don't offer free birth control the birth rate was 5,1 children for women in 1960. After the family planning the birth rate declined for 1,70 children for women. But the majority of Latin American countries have family planning. Including poor countries. The big challenge of Africa in my opinion are the barrier of religion. Religion does not allow the use of contraceptives or condemns it. That is so sad because a lot of poor africans have many children and perpetuate the cicle of the poverty. 1 Like |

1Sharon: White people have recessive genes and the UV rays from the sun is also sterilizing them. That is why their fertility rate is low. The Neanderthals and the Denisovans went the same way and became extinct. If you keep introducing recessive genes into your descendants, after awhile they suffer the same fate. |
Re: Birth Rate By Country 2021 by Samishiba: 11:32am On Jan 20, 2022 |
1Sharon: The birth control rates in African countries are so low. Regardless of having access to them. Probably because religion barrer. Several African nations stand out among the most conservative on the issue of contraceptive use, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey of people in 40 countries. Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya and Senegal ranked among the nine countries with the most moral opposition to contraception. In Nigeria and Ghana, roughly half or more of each population said that contraceptive use is morally unacceptable (54% and 52%, respectively). Out of the 40 countries surveyed, only Pakistan (65%) had a higher rate of opposition.[code][/code] |
