The Population Institute released a report on how population growth is affecting the development prospects of the world’s most fragile countries. The report, “Demographic Vulnerability: Where population growth poses the greatest challenges,” identifies and ranks the 20 countries facing the greatest demographic challenges with respect to hunger, poverty, water scarcity, environmental degradation, and political instability. In several of the countries—including Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, South Sudan, and Yemen—internal or regional conflicts compound the social and economic challenges associated with rapid population growth.
