Chapter 1066 Pressure and Governance

Maybe many Americans don't think of black people as human beings, but at least they really pay black people. Based on this, the living conditions of black people in the United States are the best among all black people in the world. As for Haiti and Liberia, two countries dominated by black people, although black people have a higher political status, their economy is a mess. Except for the upper class, it is better to stay in the United States.

Luo Song said: "my country's population is growing rapidly, benefiting from a relatively sound medical and health system and the current development of various parts of Africa. Since the late 1990s, various diseases in East Africa have dropped significantly. This is particularly evident in coastal and other humid and hot areas, and there is a significant difference between my country and West Africa."

There are many diseases in tropical areas. In fact, there is not much difference between them and temperate and subtropical areas in the 20th century. It is more obvious in high-altitude and cold areas such as northern Europe.

Among tropical diseases, the most prominent malaria still exists in East Africa today, but with the development of East Africa, it will no longer break out on a large scale. It can be said to be the lowest among countries at the same latitude, even lower than some temperate countries.

"Secondly, with the development of industry and agriculture, the living standards of our country's people have significantly improved compared with the last century, the price of agricultural products has always remained low, and the per capita consumption of food, clothing and other types of industrial products has increased significantly."

Agriculture is the basis for ensuring the population growth in East Africa. The agricultural sector in East Africa is not only self-sufficient, but also can export in large quantities. With the promotion of mechanization, the use of fertilizer agriculture, the planning and development of agriculture according to local conditions, the improvement of variety cultivation technology and other reasons, East African agriculture has not only achieved a leap in quantity, but also quickly caught up with European and American countries in quality.

Today, East Africa is considered one of the world's agricultural powers, and it belongs to the first echelon with Germany. The strengths of Germany's agricultural development are mainly reflected in the fertilizer and pesticide technology level, while East Africa is at the forefront of the world in mechanization, while the United States and other countries are relatively balanced in all aspects, but there are no more eye-catching highlights like East Africa and Germany.

"At the same time, the national population growth rate has formed various differences due to different education levels and ideological concepts. For example, the population growth rate in urban areas is slightly weaker than that in rural areas. The popularization of compulsory education across the country has also made the fertility rate of the new generation lower than that of the older generation. However, this difference is not obvious at present, but it can also reflect some changes in my country's population to a certain extent."

In general, the level of education does have an impact on the population growth rate. For example, the older generation in East Africa, because of their low education level, they don't think much, so they are more likely to carry out breeding business according to traditional models, especially the Far East immigrant group. Because of East Africa's intermarriage policy, the national population of East Africa has exploded in the 70s and 80s, laying a solid foundation for East Africa to become a populous country in the world.

"At present, my country has fully popularized compulsory education, and higher education has also made great progress, and the quality of the people has been significantly improved, which has paved the way for my country to build a world industrial power. In addition, the quality of compulsory education has been significantly improved, a complete talent training system has been established, normal schools have been widely built, and the average teaching level of the teacher group has been improved, which has significantly narrowed the gap between the average teaching level of compulsory education in my country and that of countries such as Germany."

In the past, due to factors such as talent, funds and productivity, the level of schools in the compulsory education stage in East Africa was obviously insufficient, which was a typical "poor education", especially compared with European countries such as Germany and the Austro-Hungarian Empire where compulsory education was implemented earlier.

As for other non-compulsory education countries, the average school level is much higher than that of East Africa. For example, Russia, although most people in Russia do not even have the opportunity to go to school, most of the people who can go to school in Russia are the social elites of the country, and Russian education is also a typical elite route, so it is normal that the level of Russian education is far higher than that of East Africa.

But this does not mean that Russian education is better than East Africa. After all, the number of educated people in Russia is limited, and East Africa is also an elite route in terms of higher education. This makes East African higher education not only large in quantity, but also of quality comparable to that of European and American countries. The fundamental reason for this result is that East Africa can screen out more talents during the compulsory education stage.

Luo Song continued: "The vigorous development of education has played a feeding back role in my country's scientific research, industrial and agricultural development, and has trained a large number of scientific researchers and more knowledgeable technical workers and farmers for my country, while driving the development of education, medical and other industries."

With the development of industrialization, East Africa's demand for talents is greater, and along with industrialization is the specialization of the agricultural field, such as mechanical operation, pesticide and fertilizer use, scientific management, etc., which require new farmers to master corresponding knowledge.

"In short, my country's population has not only achieved a breakthrough in quantity, but also a breakthrough in quality. While the population has exceeded 100 million, the education level of the new population has also been significantly improved."

East Africa's population has not only become one of the most populous countries in the world in terms of scale, but also the quality of the East African population is also relatively excellent among countries in the world, which is obviously beneficial to the further development of East Africa.

Ernst said: "The expansion of population size and the improvement of national quality have laid a solid foundation for our country's further development, but we will also face some problems, including the guidance of public opinion and ideology, social order and public security, and the bearing capacity of urban development."

As the saying goes, if the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds! The increase in the number of East Africans has also increased the difficulty of management for the East African government. Ernst puts thought first, naturally to prevent "Russian" thought from entering East Africa. Now is an active period for social movements in Russia and Europe and the United States. After all, there have been two large-scale economic crises in recent years, which has also provided soil for social movements in Europe and the United States.

Especially in Russia, which first encountered an economic crisis and then suffered a disastrous defeat in the Russo-Japanese War, the Russian social movement has actually become a big climate at this time. Otherwise, during the First World War in the previous life, it would not have been possible to overthrow the Tsarist government with a single call. After all, the premise of a single call is a deep mass base, which requires a strict and large-scale social organization.

The Russian coup in the previous life took place in 1917, and now it is 1909, so these years should be the peak period of Russian social movements.

In terms of social security, the East African government is not too worried. As a country with big government and a planned economic system, the East African government's governance of society is still relatively excellent.

As for the carrying capacity of cities, it is nothing more than a problem of resources such as housing, transportation, education, and medical care. With the population growth and the advancement of industrialization in East Africa, a large number of people are pouring into cities, and various urban resources are becoming increasingly tight. This requires the East African government to re-plan cities and further implement public resources such as medical care, education, and transportation.

Of course, it is not just cities, but the growth of rural population is the main force. At present, the urbanization rate in East Africa is less than 30%, and cities cannot accommodate excessive populations for the time being.

Therefore, it is also necessary to provide more abundant public resources such as medical care and education for the rural population.

Although in the past two decades, East Africa has tilted most policies and resources towards cities due to the need to develop industry, this does not mean that rural areas should be ignored, at least not too much, so it is naturally necessary to improve necessary medical care and education.

Of course, due to the fact that the urbanization level in East Africa will be further improved in the future, East Africa should also be cautious about investing in public resources in rural areas. After all, it can be seen with the naked eye that the population in East Africa will be increasingly concentrated in cities in the future. In this case, too much investment in rural areas may cause certain waste.

Of course, the East African governments cannot throw the baby out with the bathwater. They just need to devote more energy to sorting out the development potential, population and economic conditions of rural areas, so as to allocate social resources more reasonably.
