I don't agree. 'Where' the population growth happens is as important as anything, because some nations are much more equipped to handle the growth than otherwise.
Also, some nations citizens produce/consume much more than others, for example.
China could handle some more people. Pakistan and Nigeria cannot.
I agree that nations each handle growth differently. I don't agree that any nation is equipped to handle growth, at least from a long term ecological perspective.
There is already more consumption than our current technology can sustain.
