We share the globe with more than 4 billion people. more than threequarters of whom live in developing nations. most of them poor. By the end of this century. the population of developing countries will grow by about 1.7 billion people. Their prospects for jobs. food. and peace will increasingly affect our own prospects. These nations can be the fastest growing market for our exports. as they are today. or they can become sources for new immigration and hostility toward the industrial democracies. Thus. Americas defense. energy. and economic security depend on stability and growth not only among our allies. but among our friends In the Third World.
