(March 2012) 78 million people are being added to the world¹s population every year, almost all in poor countries (www.earth-policy.org/indicators/C40). Globally, we are outstripping Earth¹s carrying capacity. Overpopulation means extreme poverty, unemployment, and resource wars. Female education and voluntary family planning lead to fewer, healthier children, and raise families out of poverty.
