Comment on U.S. and World Population Clock

Comments

Quite interesting so many of the top countries are Muslim (Bangladesh, Pakistan, big chunks of Nigeria and India).

I wonder what will happen in the near future when the Muslim population inevitably dominates over the other groups.

As it gets more educated and gains a higher level of living standard, the muslim population will slow its birth rate. A high birth rate is primarily visible in countries where you HAVE to have kids to survive when you get old.

It is specifically about women getting emancipated.

Nigeria is really an oddity. Wonder why the birthrate is that exponential there.
