Nylonkong are getting more attention with Trump, Brexit, and the protests. When was the last time you read an in-depth news about some under represented region, say, Nigeria? For a country experiencing population boom and worsening internal conflicts, 200 million people there ARE going to fight for fresh water and other resources if the rest of world just sit there and do nothing.

What is 'the rest of the world' supposed to do? It's not like they don't have access to internet or condoms (even free), not in 2019. It's a (collective) choice. See [1]. It's about Niger (same largest ethnic group - Hausa[2]), which is also experiencing a population explosion, but the principle appears to be the same:

>“I just pray to God to bless those three babies I have,” she says. The local health centre in her village of Darey Maliki offered her free contraception, which they get partly from the NGO Pathfinder, but Hamani declined. “Maybe [my in-laws] would tell my husband to marry another woman to have more babies,” she says. “If they want me to have another pregnancy, I can do it just for them to feel happy.”

Perhaps that culture changes in the future generations, but for now Subsaharan Africa is on track for 2B+ in 2050, and nothing short of starvation or violence can change that.

Where infant mortality is high, humans tend to have more children.
