Do you think that birth rate is alsodeclining in foreign countries?
Well...I have some image that economic growth　in U.S. is intense,and birth rate is also growing much.

Look at this graph,at first.
  Graph (population of the world) Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology-Japan
This is a changes in the number of population in the world.It was 1600000000 in 1900,but it grow to 2500000000 in 50years,and it became 6000000000 in 2000.

Oh,it says that the number of birth babies in world is getting increse,isn`t it?
That`s wrong.
Look to this graph.

Though population increase, the number to be born of children decreases. This is related to the death rate becoming very low by a medical advance or sanitary improvement.
Dying people considerably decrease, so population is increasing, but the birthrate does not increase.
In fact, approximately 80% of population of the world are population of a developing area. Besides, it is said that 95% of population growth are happening in a developing area.
