How do African demographic projections have anything to do with UK/EU migration?

  There is a narrative currently in favor with a particular (very fringe, American) blogger that Africa is experiencing a population explosion that will surge across the Mediterranean and overrun Europe. This ignores the fact that as incomes rise in Africa, population growth plummets (see South Africa as an example of this).

    I assume you're referring to Stefan Molyneux. He has some very interesting ideas and presents them articulately. However he gives off quite the "cult leader" vibe and tends to deride or mock counterarguments, rather than critically engage with them.

      I am merely refering to UN projections, which suggest the population doubling over the next 30 years. I wish the African economy will be able to support this population growth but I wouldn't bet on it. http://www.geohive.com/earth/his_proj_continent.aspx http://www.geohive.com/earth/his_proj_continent.aspx
