What awaits us
The new Red List of Endangered Species also includes the Chambo, a food fish whose population in Lake Malawi is now on the verge of collapse, not at least because of the increasing consumption of the rapidly growing population in Malawi. This shows in an impressive and depressing manner the fatal connection between the exploitation of available resources and growing poverty and hunger. Although the average birth rate has decreased from more than 6 per woman to almost 4 in recent years, the population growth rate remains at about 3% per year, because about 46 % of Malawi's population is younger than 15 years, and another quarter of the population is between 15 and 29 years old.
Due to the poor economic situation, most children and young people grow up in poverty and precarious living conditions. This also affects their health care situation, which affects their sexual and reproductive health and rights. Early sexual activity combined with a lack of information and contraception contributes to a high HIV infection rate and early pregnancies. This represents a major risk especially for girls and young women. 54 % of all Malawian women marry before their 18th birthday, 8.8 % even before their 15th birthday. This tradition of child marriage, although actually forbidden, significantly increases the risk of early and unwanted pregnancy.
