Article Abstract:

World population growth has been the subject of many speeches and surveys in 1992. The issue is being looked at both in terms of poverty and environmental damage. In developed countries we use most of the minerals and fossil fuels, although we have only 23% of the population. Developed countries produce 86% of gross national product. World population is now 5.48 billion, and may reach 6 billion by 1998. Ninety-seven percent of the future growth will be in the southern hemisphere, with Africa contributing one-third of this figure.
