>"More than half of global population growth between now and 2050 is expected to occur in Africa," says the United Nations report. "Of the additional 2.4 billion people projected to be added to the global population between 2015 and 2050, 1.3 billion will be added in Africa."
>After 2050, Africa is projected to be the only major area that has a continually growing population, meaning that it will house 25% of the global population in 2010 and 39% in 2100.
>In 1950, only 9% of the world's population was African.
>The UN report says that several factors contribute to Africa's continued pace:
>• Lots of high fertility countries. The world has 21 countries that are "high fertility," meaning than the average woman has five or more children over her lifetime. Of those, 19 are in Africa (and the other two are in Asia). The largest is Nigeria, which according to another report will have 10% of the world's births by 2050.
>• Major gains in life span. Life expectancy in Africa rose by six years in the 2000s, double the global average. Africa's average life expectancy is expected to gain about 19 years by 2100,rising to age 78.
>• Major declines in child mortality. In the past decade, the rate of children under age five who died went from 142 per 1,000 to 99 per 1,000. The global fall was from 71 per 1,000 in 2000-2005 to 50 per 1,000 in 2010-15.

How do we solve this problem besides "kill niggers"? It's not as if Africa will ever become a first world country within this period so their birth rate won't stabilise. We're already seeing people say that North Africa and other parts of Africa will be uninhabitable due to climate change. This is going to be a serious problem, and people like Bill Gates with their work in Africa are only exacerbating the problem.
