    Does having children in a first world country with declining population affect poor people in Africa?

    Suddenly not having children means a lot of issues for those getting older. A slow decline, on the other hand, is not such a big problem for societies. It is the sudden change that comes at a high cost.

      Yes, advanced countries are have incredibly high per capita consumption, and a lot of that comes from Africa. Just one examples is large corporations restricting access to water for their own use, causing many people to lose access to clean water.
