You can see from this chart that the population of developing countries is growing at AN ALARMING RATE compared with the industrialized countries. People living in poverty, with inadequate sanitation and hygiene are having large numbers of children that they can't support. ------ Half a billion children are at risk of permanent damage due to malnutritioun over the next decade. This needs to be addressed in two ways - The governments of developing countries need to educate their citizens - teach them to act responsibly and... The industrialized countries need to apply pressure on these governments to put in place suitable infrastructure so that this growing population can have decent living conditions The industrialized countries do a lot to help, but they are fighting a losing battle. The developing countries need to take responsibily for the wellbeing of their citizens and their economy. They need to create a sustainable society. They need to act now or we will be witnessing horrific scenes like never before.
