Long a Problem in Industrialized
�� �� ���������������
Countries, Obesity Is a Problem
in the Developing World.
Globally, at least 1 billion adults are overweight (body mass index, or
�� BMI, exceeding 25), with about 300 million of those adults considered
obese (BMI of 30 or greater). While obesity has long been a problem
��
in industrialized countries, levels are rising in many developing coun-
tries as well. For example, one-fourth of Mexican men and one-third
of Mexican women are considered obese. Similarly, obesity rates are
�� ��
21 percent for Moroccan women and 35 percent for South African
�� women—significantly greater than the rates for women in many indus-
� trialized nations.

������ Much press has been given to the increase in immigration in the indus-
����������
�� trialized world—most of which has come from developing countries.
���������� The United States and Canada, for example, both have long traditions
��������
of immigration, while many countries in western Europe have seen
�� the influx of migrants from both former colonies in Asia and Africa (to
�����������
the Netherlands) and eastern Europe (to Ireland). Less well known,
however, is that several countries in the developing world have seen a
�������
������������� ������� rise in their foreign-born populations. Costa Rica, for example, has long
� attracted refugees escaping civil strife in nearby countries, and more
����������� ������
recently has been a destination for Nicaraguans and Panamanians
�������� seeking seasonal work. Botswana provides another case in point, as it
� has attracted both refugees and economic migrants from its neighbors
���� ���� ���� ���� ����
in southern Africa.

A large body of research over the years has linked higher education for
women and girls with reduced fertility levels. Indeed, recent data from ���
������������������
many countries have shown that women with at least a secondary-level ���
education eventually give birth to one-third to one-half as many chil- ���
dren as women with no formal education. In some of these countries, �������������� ���
the fertility of these well-educated women approaches replacement
level. Better-educated women are able to delay marriage and exercise ���
���������������
more control over their reproductive lives, including decisions about ���
childbearing. ���
