Number of births per continent from 1950-2021

Births per year, by world region

Something I noticed is the number of births in Africa has quadrupled over the last 70 years while the number of births in Asia has declined especially over the last 10 years Asia now only has 67 million births per year compared to 45 million for Africa even though Asia has 3x the population Africa needs to find ways to take advantage of its massive youth population

The share of Asia in the global population gradually increased and reached a peak in 1800 at 68%. In spite of Asia's subsequent record growth during the last fifty years, the continent as a whole has never recovered from the relative demographic stagnation observed through 1800-1950.

East Asia & India have been in decline for a long time. 180 years ago China could have easily colonized South-East Asia into their own version of the Americas and nobody could have stopped them, today South-East Asia has more births than China for the first time ever.

Just in the last 15 years Asia went from having double the amount of births of Africa to now only 50 percent more births it’s a sharp decline I think Africa may surpass Asia’s births in the next 10-15 years

The main thing i wanna focus on is how we can get the Horner population, especially Somalis, to increase fast.
We already have a much lower population compared to the rest of the continent, we would become a tiny sub group on some corner of africa if we do not catch up.
Nigeria already has around double the population of all horner nations put together and is expected to reach some 400 million

Somalis might have to transition into something of a rancher lifestyle because the nomadic life will leave us with a very small population compared to our neighbours.
We are the ethnic group with the largest land in sub saharan africa yet we are outnumbered by Igbos and Yurobas in nigeria who have a tiny piece of land compared to us.

Lower the infant mortality rate that’s the first thing increase healthcare services in the baadiyo Somalia has the highest TFR in the world mashallah I believe theres close to 40 million Somalis in the horn we’re increasing faster then most nations

If help was provided to women involving children and the home, I'm sure many wouldn't have a problem having more children. I would love to have 5-6 children but since I know that all the child rearing will fall on the me plus house work, I sure as hell ain't having more than 1-2

Yeah Somalis are having like 7 kids mashallah but the infant mortality rate is sadly ending the lives of many children so that needs to be lowered by increased medical care, getting food to people and better sanitation by making a sewage system that clears out all the human waste which will make it so diseases doesn't ravage Somalis

Do women in Somalia not get assistance from family and their community whilst raising children?
As far as i know, it's mostly in the west where we have this issue of Somali women being left to raise kids alone which i have sadly seen in many communities since nobody even knows their next door neighbour nowadays.

The somali populations of Ethiopia and Kenya are growing faster in my opinion then mainland somalia due to a variety of factors that can be fixed with good governance and security however all is not lost in 20-30 years we might be the second or third largest ethnicity in Africa if current fertility trends continue

The one who have money have help. The normal civilian family doesn't. The only way they are better off than the west is the fact that the tulo watches them.
However, who has to cook for the children? not the tulo.
Who has to clean after the children? not the tulo.
Who has to read their quran/islamic studies with them? not the tulo.
who has to help them with school work? not the tulo.
Who has to go to school/ dugsi to talk to their teacher and be updated on how their children are doing? not the tulo.
who has to bath them? not the tulo.
who has to put them to sleep? not the tulo.
who has to take them to school? not the tulo.
Who has to take care of the when they get sick? not the tulo.
Who has to take them to the doctor when they get sick? not the tulo.........etc
What's worse is that there is more! these are the only things I can think of just from the top of my head!
The only good thing about the tulo is that they watch your kid when they are outside. tulo doesn't help with raising your children to adulthood, just keeping them out of trouble/ harm's way. Now tell me, can 1 woman handle all this shit for 6-7 children? It's already hard enough for 1 child, imagine a whole herd of them on top of all this, you gotta deal with the husband and his expectations, the house, the parents Then comes the questions: Where is my time to even take care of myself huh? What happens to her life, her hobbies, her sleep, her rest? her dreams?.....etc The woman is gonna run herself ragged and and up with health issues from all the burden/stress. And y'all wonder why the birth population is going down

Hopefully Somalis can use their large homogenous Population to their advantage by making an efficient Nation-state that can dominate the continent.
If we got rid of qabill we won't have to deal with the same tribal conflicts that everyone else in africa has

Yeah lots of children would be a draining task for any woman.
The best we can do to lessen the burden would be for the government to give women some money for each child they have to help pay for necessities and also get free healthcare and education rolled out.
Having a country with a high fertility rate would only work if you had a man actually going to work and putting food on the table so that the woman would only have to worry about taking care of the kids which is a full time job as is.

I’d like to see us in the future dominate east Africa first demographically then economically it’s happening already in certain countries I think both scenarios should be pursued to ensure the best possible future for the new generations of Somalis

Yes Somalis need to hijack everything from all sorts of industries to owning as much land and successful businesses as possible which would give us leverage over our neighbours

A high birth rate is bad for somalia when we face constant droughts. Over 50,000 children under the age of 5 died last year because of the the famine

Even the fertility rate for somalia has went down since the 70s
