All the examples of high population density per km² countries are losing population on long term (probably it can reverted in Netherlands and Belgium due mass immigration, but then it's another story). People from developed countries tend to have less children for some reason.
And these Africa countries population is growing fast on long term. One of the reasons may be due the mortality rates are decreasing. Africa is one of the most chaotic continents in the world, many epidemics and wars make the population grow slower, but it doesn't mean they tend to have less children.
Well, it's just an observation. You will find exceptions, but from a general perspective it really makes sense.
Yeah, I can agree with that but they are losing population only AFTER they have reached a developed status.
And people in developed countries tend to do that because they want to still have some time off while raising kids (impossible with
and because they are planning ahead, you won't be able on the average wage to sustain 8 kids at the level you can do with 2.
In poor countries...those are stupid ideas. You need to keep
producing them to help you at work, screw education, screw other needs, all that is important is manpower. No wonder in many countries families is really disappointed when they get a daughter and not a son.
Besides, density is also heavy influenced by a lot of other factors.
If we look at Japan and New Zealand,330 vs 15 per km2, both islands, both developed countries yet....
Even if we talk about African Countries, Nigeria is at 200 while Niger at 15.
And there are huge differences even in the US, for example, Nebraska and California.
Nope, density is not a factor, unless we talk about the density of public toilets per sq km2, which I'm pretty sure would paint a better picture
The developed countries are already developed and the money to be made from them is quite small. However the developing countries are still there for the profits, if you invest into health business in Nigeria and own many hospitals in the end you might end up profiting for the long term, if you try that on USA its not going to be as cheap or as easy to start doing that let alone keep doing it.
Basically investing in developing countries is easier, it both helps the country and makes you profits in the long term. Already developed countries do not need your help at all so you can't really rely on them to profit.
