Africa has the largest Death Rate of any continent, however, it also has the fastest growing population due to the immensely high birth rates. [More people are being born than dying]. Europe has either the second or third largest death rate, but is the only continent with a decreasing population due to its low Birth Rate. [More people are dying than being born].
