Okay so the country is up in arms. People are angry (Usually the ones without a job). There just isn’t enough to go around?
But who gets the blame? Maybe we should blame our parents. LOL.... Let's look at the future...
The country’s (South Arica) current birth rate is 19.48 births for every 1000 people a year.
(This is according to the CIA world fact book, and http://www.indexmundi.com/south_africa/birth_rate.html)
Considering the current population sits at 49,004,031 that's a lot of babies.
I'll apply some lateral math...That means we have 954598 new born every year.
That means that after every Friday night, there are about 18,357 new pregnancies.
EIGHTEEN THOUSAND!
Even if we only cater for jobs to HALF of them, it means the country will have to create a staggering nine thousand new jobs every week.
When these newborns grow up, they’ll have to compete with millions around their own age.
There’s no question this country is over populated. If you can’t get a job, and you REALLY want to blame somebody else for it, consider your parents, for having you in the first place.
Now that’s what I call a conflicting moment of existentialism. J
Do yourself, and your future child that you’ll never have a favour, and use a condom. Be wise... rubberize!
