Document Summary

More developed countries have an overall rate of natural increase of only 0. 1 percent, while the rest of world is growing substantially faster, with rates somewhere between 1. 5 to 1. 7 percent. Together, less developed countries today account for roughly 81% of the world"s total population. Less developed world the combination of rapid growth, relatively low income and high population density suggests that the resources available to the average citizen in these countries will continue to diminish. An accurate reflection of living conditions is provided by a measure called nutritional density the ratio of total population to total arable area in a country. One way to determine how fast a population is growing is to compete its doubling time the number of years it would take for the population to double if its current rate of growth were to remain unchanged.
