Global population keeps growing, that's what Runa was talking about. If those countries you speak of truly need extra people all they have to do is to change their immigration policy and save some people from starvation and misery.

Don't worry about that, the world total population will soon start decreasing. With the fertility rate global average only being 2.5 children/woman which include countries such as Niger which have a fertility rate of 7 children/woman, the average is getting dangerously low. As birth control method increase in popularity in third world countries, the average fertility rate may soon drop below the 2.1 threshold.
The populatoon in countries such as Andorra may soon go extinct ( It will take a while Obviously ) due to a very low birth rate of ~1.3children/woman coupled with a low population of ~85,000 people.

Yet despite that fertility rate the population there still increased in the last couple years and despite a couple of negative years every now and then it has a lot more years where the population increases than decreases.
Although if world population goes down that would be a good thing. Too many people in the world already.

Andorra still has a lower population than they did in 2006 and who knows why they had a population increase, it may be easily be due to immigration. One way or another you still can't have a healthy society when the ferility rate is below the replacement threshold of 2.1. Just because a population is increasing doesn't actually mean that it's increasing in a healthy manner.
