population growth

in Uganda now every year 1 Million new Ugandans are born, and currently 40% of the population is younger than 15 years. discussions started in Rwanda if family planing similar to the chinese- 1 child policy should be introduced, cause that land cannot feed and educate all the people in the future. The plan is to reduce the number of children per family from 6-8 (!!!) to 3 (!).

in china, from my experience it was absolutely necessary from a society point of view to have only 1 child, but from a social point o f view the kids are often "princes" and princess"ly spoiled. In uganda population control should be somehow be advocated, to give equal rights and chances for every boy and especially the girls. But i am of the opinion it should somehow not be a law.
cause imageing the situation in Germany: decreasing population growth, and old society, pension problems, and then the government orders by Law (!) that every couple needs to have 1-2 children. puh.... what is my personal freedom and decision against the society wellfare? mhh.

not really a symbol of population growth, but just had to post this panorama picture of the old taxi park. amazing, eh?
