Those countries are in desperate need of contraception and access to reproductive health care. Otherwise millions of people are just going to suffer in slum cities. Population control is one of the biggest global problems.

I agree. They should para drop "plan B" and contraceptives into those locations. There is nothing worse, IMO, than having a kid, and not having the resources to provide that kid with an okay life. Better just not to have them than to bring him/her into crap, and continue the trend.

The birth rate is nuts in some of those areas. Its a disaster waiting to happen. Population growth exceeding the ability for the economy to provide jobs and resources to those people. Much less a lacking social system that can't keep up.

The problem with these kinds of graphs is that they assume current growth rates to be permanent and unchanging. Things rarely actually play out that way however, and as these countries become more urbanized and prosperous, we can expect the growth rates to fall accordingly.

2060? thats a joke. unless we change a lot of stuff we arnt going to have any people on earth. right now we are heading into a messed up time with 5g towers everywhere.

The population of Lagos is somewhere near 20,000,000 and is set to double by 2050!

1970 population was only 1.4 million.

Population growth since 2005 is not relevant to a population thread? You are a moron and yes, it is accurate. Census quietly revised 2016 population figures due to severe undercounting.

Well you do say the top twenty metros ranked, and then only have 15 listed. Which is the lowest of the 20 if you only list 15????

just sayin' and all...

It is and it’s a serious problem.

I'm assuming because the remaining top 20 cities saw declines or fairly small population gains.

Well that is all we can do is "assume" since they were not included. Seems like it would also be hard to go from 399,000 to "fairly small population gains" or "declines" but whatever. I admit I only posted my post because of his arrogant response-calling someone a moron when his list is, in fact, not accurate because it is not complete-there are not 20 cities listed.

Those southern cities can in part thank Chicago for all those lower income people moving down there

I'm always interested to see how Canadian cities compare. Toronto grew by 861,000 people between 2006 and 2016.. 2005 and 2017 would probably put it around 1,030,000 total growth.. Putting it squarely in the strong growth US south cities. I always find Toronto's growth fascinating compared to the parts of the US that surround it.. It's a strong growth centre surrounded by rustbelt cities with declining population. Detroit and Buffalo have flatlined for decades, Cleveland's MSA is in decline from my understanding, etc.

Same with Calgary.. 251,000 growth between 2006 and 2016.. While not as large in pure numbers, it's percentage growth probably puts it quite high on the continental average growth rate.

[BnaBreaker]

Those Nigeria projections are absolutely horrifying.

[chris08876]

Yeah overpopulation is no joke, especially when 9/10 will most likely be in poverty and sub-human conditions.

Birth control and condoms need to be cheaper than water. Seriously...!

One thing that we can say with the West is how the population growth is nowhere near other countries in Africa or in Asia (India/Pakistan), but at least we can provide to those new citizens or folks. Its not perfect, but its not sub-Saharan Africa or India/Pakistan, ect...

Jobs, economic opportunity and so on need to kinda follow population growth. Too many people being added, with the economic opportunities/social services not catching up, and its a shit show.

Plus, when Mother Nature gets pissed, it makes for a disaster in the making. People can control population, but not as effective and with a swift blade through the heart like Mother Nature can. She is relentless, and heeds no sorrow.

It's really quite simple. If Toronto were in the US, it would demographically be in the same boat as other northern US cities.

People in Toronto don't have a Phoenix or Dallas to "flee" to.
