I would like to find out more about developing countries and the population grouth in the developing countries.
The answer is:
95 percent.
Currently, the world’s population totals more than 6.7 billion and grows at an average rate of around 80 million persons per year.
Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, three regions of the world made up of mostly developing countries, account for most of the world’s increasing population.

It is staggering to think about what this percentage really means.
…Countries that have less are continually having to provide for more and more people.
wow that is a lot!
The growth is 97%!
97%–that’s 80 million people per year!
I think it is 97%
ninety seven percent!
To think that God would grace me in the other 3% is unthinkable. We should do what we can for the world from where we are.
THAT WOULD BE 97%
Ninety seven percent!
