This Tells All, but add the following.......

From the 1970s through the 1990s, a decline in a country’s annual birth rate of 10 births per thousand people corresponded to a decrease of about 10 percent in the likelihood of an outbreak of civil conflict. Each decade, countries in the earliest phase of demographic transition (with birth rates above 45 per thousand) had more than a 40 percent probability of experiencing a new outbreak of civil conflict. This vulnerability descended until the latest phase of transition, in which countries had less than a 5 percent probability of an outbreak of civil conflict. While this association does not demonstrate direct causation, the relationships found here are striking and consistent
