John Wilmoth, director of the population division in the UN's department of economic and social affairs, said that high fertility in some of world's poorest countries could bring problems.

联合国经济和社会事务部人口司司长约翰·威尔莫斯(John Wilmoth)称,世界上一些最贫穷国家的高人口出生率可能引发诸多问题。

'The concentration of population growth in the poorest countries presents its own set of challenges, making it more difficult to eradicate poverty and inequality, to combat hunger and malnutrition, and to expand educational enrolment and health systems, all of which are crucial to the success of the new sustainable development agenda.'

“人口增长集中在最贫穷的国家会带来一系列挑战,使消除贫穷和不平等、对抗饥饿和营养不良以及扩大教育招生和卫生体系面临更大困难,而这些正是新型可持续发展取得成功的关键。

The report also found that the number of people aged over 60 will more than double by 2050 and more than triple by 2100. In Europe, 34 per cent of the population is predicted to be above 60 inthe next 35 years because of the declining fertility rate and increase in longevity.
