World Mapper: Total Children

When I went to click on the WorldMapper website, I chose number number five under the heading 'Categories'. This one was labeled "Total Children." This is what the map looked like:


The map that we looked at in class on 9/18/13 was a Robinson map. It looked something like this:

Please notice the fact that Antarctica isn't even a part of the first map, whereas it takes up a pretty good majority of the second. The reason for this must be that it is rare for kids to be born in Antarctica. I would also like you to notice how distinct China and India are in the first map. This (of course) must meant that many children are born in these two places. The reason why places like Japan and Spain are very small on the first map has to do with the fact that these to countries have a very small minority of children (only 14% of total). This, I might add is becoming an increasing problem for these markets because not only is the population aging, but the workforce is, too.

Last, but not least:

 If I were from the country of Australia, I would like to tell myself that the first map is false, simply because I am probably very arrogant, and my country is almost non existence. I would try my best to get the first map banned form the internet immediately,
