Is it just me or population control has completly fallen off the government's (i.e. MW, SADC, AU, etc) radar? Is this wise?

Policy-wise. Apparently Malawi has the highest population density in Africa; I can't remember where I read that, but it certainly is true in the South where Malawi, Zambia & Zimbabwe have roughly the same population, the exception being that MW is about ten times smaller than the two of them. The difference is even more pronounced when you compare MW with countries like Botswana and Namibia. The maths is simple. It will always be easier to provide for a few than it is to do the same for more. Would Botswana be as well off if it's population were as large as Malawi's i.e. 11m (or c.110m if you wish to match MW's population density) as opposed to the current 1.5m? Of course not. My question is therefore, why doesn't MW treat population control ('planning' might be a better word) as a high priority?

awmygawwd, a half filled bottle is half full to others while to some its half empty. in my view the advantages of having a high population density outweighs those of having a low one as long as the majority are productive. this brings me to say that there is no need for population control but there is need to capitalise on our huge numbers to maximise productivity.
