Population growth and collapse compared to R-naught number
13:49 - 21:18 (07:28)
The podcast discusses how population growth and collapse is similar to an R-naught number, where having more people leads to having more children, which further leads to an increase in population growth. The sub-Saharan African countries have started to industrialize and are following the same path as others, with the first step being a decrease in infant and child mortality, and three countries, namely New Zealand, France, and the US, have lower urbanization rates due to similar reasons.
