The countries with the lowest population growth rates typically include developed nations with aging populations and low birth rates, such as Japan, Germany, Italy, and some countries in Eastern Europe. Conversely, countries with the highest population growth rates often include developing nations with high fertility rates and significant population growth, such as Niger, Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, and several countries in sub-Saharan Africa.
