Abstract
Abstract A recent World Bank report has stated that the world population will grow continuously until reaching a total of 12 to 13 billion people by the middle of the 22nd century. Much of this growth will take place in developing countries. Of the 80 million births forecast for 1984, 70 million were expected to be born in developing countries. These countries now comprise three fourths of the world's population. Due to the success of China's population policies, however, the growth rate in East Asia, which peaked at 2.2% in 1970–75, is now 1.1% and should drop below 1% after the year 2000. China's experience to hold population growth down is most valuable to the world, especially to the developing countries.
