What is the birth rate in a place like Haiti?

The hard truth in alot of these places is people need to stop having so many kids. A landmass can only support so many people.

Canada has a negative birth rate and would be declining in population if it wasnt for new citizens - this is in a country that has more freebee natural resources than almost anywhere else on the planet. A place like reasonable should have no more than 5mil max population for a decent standard of living for all. Currently they are at 10mil.

I am really surprised someone hasnt bought up a large chunk of coastline to turn it into a tourist destination. With its proximity to the US you would think one could make a killing on investing down there. I guess the problem would be lack of infrastructure to support such a project.
