Detailed explanation-1: -In the last 25 years, almost all the growth happened in developing economies, mainly in Asia and Oceania (1.2 billion more people) and Africa (an additional 700 million individuals).
Detailed explanation-2: -This is due to a lack of pensions and due to the lack of availability and knowledge of contraception and family planning. As birth rates are so much higher than death rates there is rapid population growth in developing countries.
Detailed explanation-3: -Over the same period population growth rates have declined only modestly-and in some cases have actually risen-in other developing regions. In South Asia the rate has declined only from 2.4 to 2.0 percent; in Latin America, from about 2.7 to about 2.3 percent.
