If Mozambique established family planning in which each woman is given the legally protected right to decide if and when to conceive and birth her children the population would stabilize; and if Mozambique safely recycled 100% of all its garbage, waste and junk, all the unemployed would have jobs.
I'm sure much of Mozambique's ends up in the Indian Ocean trash gyre, too. Other places inundated with trash are Zimbabwe, and in Mexico city a quarter million live at the city dump. Oceanic trash gyres the size of countries, numerous countries running out of landfill space, including the USA in ten years or so. Not only is population reduction a necessity, but changing habits to re-use and recycle all waste, and eliminate non-biodegradable packaging.
