The fastest population growth is taking place in the poorest regions. Poor people, especially poor people living on farms, tend to have the most children (often six or more per woman), and therefore the highest rates of population growth.
这场公共辩论的混乱，部分反映了世界不同地区的不同人口趋势。最快的人口增长速度发生在最贫穷的地方。穷人，尤其是务农的穷人，倾向于多生孩子（每个妇女生6个或者更多），因此造成了高人口增长率。
