        All states need population 4 economic growth, but if the vast population is docile & illiterate as with Africa's, it will always be a burden

        By 2030, the world population reaches 8.5 billion, ~20% will be African (1.67billion), ~37% being considered economically dependent (<15yrs)

        The opportunity lies in having a labor force that'll rival China and Asia-Pac. The burden falls on all us to nurture and support said talent

        A big opportunity to those want to sell processed goods to us. Until we can modernise our economies, explosive population will be a burden

        People cause problems and require even more people to deal with those problems. It's a vicious cycle.

        Its a double-edged sword: big populations without an alternative & manageable livelihood is a burden but they're key in providing muscle

        The population boon is unproductive, lack of education, skills,poverty ,corruption and political willingness of our leaders to serve.

        Population is labor and consumption simultaneously. It should not be a problem unless govts adopt policies that kill jobs...

        I "moderatly agree" to the subtitle. If your only "#security" is your family, it has consequences. #cybernetic is the ABC for scholes.
