I know I told this story on TMF I worked as a magazine photogs assistant. The team I was with spent a month in the interior of Mexico in the very early 1980's. We interviewed top people in finance, industry, science, arts, education....
One night at dinner our team's writer, Selwa 'Lucky' Roosevelt, reminded the table that the AVERAGE age of Mexican males at the time was 10 yrs old. The implication of that bit of data was, in light of the poverty, density of cities, lack of work, was sobering.
I realized that most of the poor, rapidly reproducing nations were on the same track; they were cranking out more people than they could maintain. Those poor folks would be migrating toward wealth.
