1. us. we have tons of ppl and we are having kids younger and younger. not to mention all the foreign adoption and other ways to create babies
2. Mexico
3. Hard to say. The population in the US is almost 3 times the population in the other two countries which would lead me to believe that the US would have a higher birth rate then the other two countries. But I don't know what the break down is of the population (age, gender, income)....so who knows.
4. US and Canada- birth rate is still good and lots of babyboomers (seniors use diapers too!) And why not Japan? If I remember correctly Japan's birth rate is either very low or is at negative.
5. I note you said INCREASE in demand rather than demand per se.... .....and I'm assuming you mean PAPER DISPOSABLE diapers, not the old-fashioned washable kind. Has to be Mexico--Japan and the US already take disposable diapers for granted.... ....but let me tell you, parents and parents-to-be--my husband and I saved $1,000s because I used CLOTH DIAPERS, except for trips, for our 3 babies--and we helped the ENVIRONMENT out as well by doing so. ....and contrary to what people might think, cloth diapers AREN'T THAT MUCH TROUBLE TO RINSE AND WASH --and you feel so GOOD about all the money you're saving! Save that money for their college educations, when they're really going to need every penny they can get!
