g day Ben and congrats, that is a cool list of provisional discoveries.
immigration from 3rd world to 2nd or 1st increases the population of the 2nd or 1st but reduces that of the 3rd world. Global population net 0 change. Except when they get on boats in the Mediterranean or Timor Seas, then there is a net -ve change by drowning
however now that 3rd worlder is in the 1st world they will breed far far less and there is a dramatic reduction in the global population compared to what would have been had they stayed 3rd world and compounding each subsequent generation. China has achieved this result by moving their economy 'up' the scale, far more effectively than the one child policy did.
now if we can just get them to re-use their 1st world coffee cups your last point is also covered
