SP1814 hijacks the thread yet AGAIN. Stick to topic....

That website I linked to actually has dozens of charts, covering any stat we might need for the conversation.

Death rate was over 100/1000 for Mali and other birth rate chart-toppers, so you'd expect a negative population growth. Unfortunately the relevant chart covers migration effects too, putting Lebanon at the top and Syria at the bottom. Because too much is going on, it is hard to judge what the bare figure is telling you. You need to be aware of which countries are at war, have a neighbour country at war, whether geography inhibits migration or not and so on. Here's the link, anyway.

Given the choice where to invest in other countries, this is where the private sector chooses to put it

It would interesting to compare that to a foreign aid recipients chart but that website has neglected to produce the latter, as far as I can tell.
