It's all down to the huge growth in population in Sub Saharan Africa.
The Chinese have invented the virus because they have been buying huge areas of Africa for the natural resources and the pesky lazy natives are annoying them. The virus is being released through developed world so that we don't think anything of it when the sub Sahara is wiped out over the coming year. G7 is in agreement as they have interests in Africa too. I see Ebola is back in part of Africa too this week.
By 2050 two in every five children will be born in Africa.
Urban population expected to triple.
For many decades the enormous populations of South America, Europe and Asia have grown quickly, but today they have slowed, and the majority of their populations are adults. In India the average age is 29, in China it is even older, at 37. But in Africa, the average age is 19 years old and rapidly getting younger. The continent is growing so quickly that by halfway through this century, it will be home to one billion children. By 2050, two in every five children in the world will be born here.
This is going to present a unique challenge. Graça Machel has warned: “Even though our youth have the potential to transform Africa, if neglected, they could exacerbate poverty and inequality while threatening peace, security and prosperity”. Therefore, we must be proactive in ensuring we meet the needs of this burgeoning population.
Africa’s urban population is expected to nearly triple by 2050, to 1.34 billion. Coupled with a high rate of urban primacy in African countries (whereby one city is multiple times bigger than the next nearest) and the high number of mega cities, enormous stress is going to be placed on the physical, political, economic and societal infrastructure in these places.
