根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
Most new babies were born in the developing countries. These countries are found in Africa, South America
and parts of Asia. In the developed countries of Europe and North America, the population is growing very
slowly. This is because women in these countries have, on average (平均), only one or two children. In the
developing countries, many women have five or more children. In 1950, about one quarter of the world's
population lived in the developed countries. By 2050, these countries will be home to only about one tenth of the
world's people.
In the developing countries, more than one billion people are still living below the poverty (贫困) line. These
people do not have enough food to eat and they live in poor housing conditions. Children get little time at school
and suffer (遭受痛苦) from many kinds of diseases.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the world's population was around six billion. The U.N. has said that the
world's population will level off (平稳下降) at 12.5 billion by the year 2100. Other groups think the world's
population will continue to grow, reaching 14 billion before it becomes stable (稳定的), or even falls.
