US Census: Haiti population booming
after quake
|
|
(AP) – 06/29/2010
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Haiti's population
will continue to grow quickly despite the
tremendous loss of life in the January earthquake,
according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates released
Monday.
The bureau estimates Haiti's current population
at 9.6 million, based on an estimated quake death
toll of 230,000.
It projects the impoverished country will
recover and surpass its pre-quake population level
by 2012. By 2050, the bureau says, Haiti will have
13.4 million people.
The Dominican Republic, with a nearly identical
population, is expected to keep up the same pace.
By contrast the populations of now-similarly sized
European countries like Sweden and Belarus are
expected to decline over the same period.
Overcrowding is already blamed by aid workers
and experts for many of Haiti's woes, from
environmental degradation and hunger to the deaths
of thousands crushed by stacked concrete homes
during the earthquake.
The figures were published in the census
bureau's online International Data Base, with
estimates and projections for 226 other countries
and areas.
