Why push 1 child policy in Africa? Start with USA, where the pollution per person ratio is much higher.
- malandrew 6y agoProbably because the US is already on the trajectory towards 1. The birthrate today is at an all time low of 1.73 in the US. In Africa it is currently 4.6.
- nitrogen 6y agoFully industrialized countries already have declining birth rates and modest populations. Having more kids in places with fewer resources isn't a sustainable proposition. If you have a stable rather than exploding population, it's much easier for that population to raise its standards of living in a sustainable way.
