Long term victory by reproductivity!

I'd like to see what specifically parts of Asia makes up the lions share of that 49% I think we know, but seeing it on a chart drives the point home a little more.

[Axtremus]

Asia has close to 60% of the world's population. If Asia has only 49% of the world's newborns, Asia is underperforming.

Nigeria will be the 3rd most populated country in about 20 years. Not exactly due to immigration.

Numbers are slightly different from the map, but I think general trend is correct.

@taiwan_girl interesting, I wanted to take that further and do births per capita (really, births per woman.... sorry Hollywood). Some countries, like Korea, are in extra trouble... not even averaging 1 per woman.

@89th Yes, all of north Asia is hurting. I think that Taiwan may have the lowest current birth rate in the world.
