World population - still a concern

By Murray Bourne, 15 Sep 2005

Some interesting stats pulled from World Data Sheet:

  • Percentage of the world living below US$2 per day: 53%
  • Projected world population in 2050: 9.3 billion, an increase of 43% from 2005.
  • Japan's population will drop 21% from now to 2050, China's will increase 10%, even though the one-child policy is still in place.
  • Singapore's infant mortality rate 1.9/1000 live births (lowest in the world), Australia's: 4.5, USA: 6.6
  • Singapore has one of the highest per-capita incomes and highest population densities in the world.

Numbers that matter...

HTML: You can use simple tags like <b>, <a href="...">, etc.

To enter math, you can can either:

  1. Use simple calculator-like input in the following format (surround your math in backticks, or qq on tablet or phone):
    `a^2 = sqrt(b^2 + c^2)`
    (See more on ASCIIMath syntax); or
  2. Use simple LaTeX in the following format. Surround your math with \( and \).
    \( \int g dx = \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}} \)
    (This is standard simple LaTeX.)

NOTE: You can mix both types of math entry in your comment.
