will continue to increase.

Likewise, in Canada Until the early 1990s, natural increase had almost always been the primary engine of population growth in the country. However, from the mid-1990s, a reversal occurred: international migration became the main engine of growth of the Canadian population, in particular because of the decline in fertility and the aging of the population.

By 2030, the number of deaths is expected to exceed the number of births. Immigration will then be the only factor in the growth of the Canadian population.

While populist politicians, stigmatize hatred against immigrants in both the United States and Europe, to be elected in offices, it is important to note that the overall trend of immigration of populations for at least 20 years has been declining, compared to overall population growth rates. If the conflicts of the 2000s displaced millions of people. The majority of migration in Africa, for example, takes place within the borders of the continent. While Africa represents only 17% of the world population today, its demographic growth is slowing down less quickly than that of other continents: it could be, at the end of the 21st century, almost equal to Asia, that is to say 40% of the planet. Africa is thus the continent with the lowest migratory flows in the world compared to its total population growth.

The results of the races prove that the next few centuries will be constructed with Africa, India, and Latin America, even if first, these countries have to make sure that they have enough resources to feed their growing populations. The announced decline of the neo-liberal economy, and the aging of the Western, Chinese and Japanese populations, should open up more equal opportunities which should allow the countries of these regions rich in mineral resources to adjust their development policy, and to become nations that matter in the world.
