Population Growth Rates Report(WIU)

Introduction

Eureka is prepared to introduce a product for which the only requisites for success are large populations, sustained population growth and, the potential for returns based on Foreign Direct Investment. The background information needed to ascertain the aforementioned requisites were "The 2005 World Population Data Sheet", and the report from the Global Business Policy Council. These two reports provided statistical information regarding population and population growth, as well as, the current and projected levels of Foreign Direct Investment.

According to the 2005 World Population Data Sheet the ten countries with the largest populations, from highest to lowest, are China, India, United States, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia, Nigeria and, Japan.
