Effects of Population Growth in the Philippines

The world population of 7.2 billion in mid-2013 is projected to increase by almost one billion people within the next twelve years. It is projected to reach 8.1 billion in 2025, and to further increase to 9.6 billion in 2050 and 10.9 billion by 2100. This assumes a decline of fertility for countries where large families are still prevalent as well as a slight increase of fertility in several countries with fewer than two children per woman on average.

Over population is an extremely serious problem facing the world today. According to an article from Newsweek in Oct. 2009 called “Where do babies come from?”, today’s world population has reached over 6.6 billion people. Also the article mentioned that in 2009 57.4% of all new born babies who were born this year came from Asia alone. This is an issue because over population can lead to hasty consumption of resources. China who has one of the largest population in the world with over 1.3 billion people, has taken a stance against over population.

Human population growth is becoming a huge issue in our world today. The population is increasing rapidly. The reason that it is becoming a concern is because it has affected the economic, environmental, and social aspects of our world. In the film Frontline: Heat, we can see how there might not be a future for our planet unless we are able to reduce the emissions and make our world a safe place. Not only for the present but also for future generations so that they are able to live long and healthy lives.

The Global human population increases growth amounts to around 75 million annually, or 1.1% per year. The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 7 billion in 2012. It is expected to keep growing, and estimates have put the total population at 8.4 billion by mid-2030, and 9.6 billion by mid-2050. Many nations with rapid population growth have low standards of living, whereas many nations with low rates of population growth have high standards of living.

Every day when looking out a window, people see a beautiful earth. The earth is intriguing, but hinges on a delicate balance. Many natural resources keep the grass green and the sky blue. Man has made quite an impression on our world, and has transformed the earth's resources into tools to make life easy. However, mans' manipulation on earth has become detrimental to the health of our planet and the safety of mankind. Through the use and production of resources such as oil and energy, man is gradually poisoning the earth. Pollution has become such a dilemma in society; there is no real control or a feasible solution to society's recklessness. Without complete change, our system will collapse. The earth will eventually retaliate with disaster, or corporate control of our economy will cause hysteria and depression. Evaluation of the consequences and repercussion of worldwide pollution, may give people a better idea of what the future holds.

1. This article relates to environmental science because it discusses the humans in the environment and if precautions are not taken the resources will be eventually all used up, leaving no resources for the future overwhelming

This increase of the human population is staggering, and the effect it will have on Earth is devastating. Questions will start to come up more frequently regarding the global food supplies, pressures on the environment, and the energy resources.

In the world today we have became to known of the upcoming problem;its not only been a problem in the U.S but other counties as well. Today’s population consist of 7,362,302,944 people world wide.Although, growing in population is consistently is a bad thing but it can be a good thing.

When the One Child Policy was created in 1979, China's population was about 972 million people. In 2012 the population of China grew to about 1.343 billion people. China believes that if they continue their One Child Policy, in the future it will actually see its population decrease, but they can not create a law that violates human rights.

The current approximate population of the earth is 7.4 billion people as of 10:21 pm on 28 June 2016. The earth presently has a population increase of 1.3% per year. This growth is influenced by, geographic factors, socioeconomic factors and the lack of population equilibrium.

Most fathers have sacrifice their own family and work to another country just to support their family’s need. Children in Philippines also help the household chores such as cleaning the house, doing the laundry, washing the dishes and some children in their young age are going to work just to help to support their family. Filipino families have very strong family ties and have big extended families living in one

Philippines is an archipelago located in Southeast Asia near the equator. The Philippine archipelago consists of 7,107 islands divided into three major groups of islands which is Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. As of 2016 the Philippine population is estimated to about 102,624,209 (World Fact Book). The Philippine nationality is termed Filipino and its population is made up of various ethnic groups. The national language is called Tagalog, it also the name of the major ethnic group of the country. According to Philippine Statistic Authority the population of urban area accounts for 45.3% of the country’s total population (Urban-Rural Classification). In contrast, the population in rural area is comprised of 54.7% and considered to be the majority population of the entire country. The Philippine climate is predominantly tropical marine where wet season occurs from November to April and is caused by the northeast monsoon. Similarly, the second set of rainy season, is caused by the southwest monsoon during May to October (World Fact Book). Additionally, the Philippine economy has been relatively resilient to global economic struggles because the country is less exposed to troubled international securities. The lower dependence on exports is what makes the country relatively resilient, relying only domestic products, as well as large remittances from millions of migrant and overseas Filipino workers (World Fact Book). The existing account balance has

We, as humans, are in a very dire situation. Sometime near the year 1800, the population of the Earth had reached one billion residents (Roster & Ortiz-Ospina, 2013). In the last two hundred years, however, the population of Earth has exploded to almost eight billion. The rate of increase is like nothing we have ever seen before in the history of the planet. One billion new earthlings were added in the last fourteen years (Roster, 2017). Many factors are at play which have directly impacted this exponential population growth. With limited resources and land available, we as humans are reaching a defining moment (Dimick, 2014). Protecting necessary resources such as clean air, fresh water, and a sufficient food supply, while simultaneously supporting steady population growth will be a huge challenge in our future. The population growth rate of humans on this planet will become a huge factor in the survivability of our species. Taking responsibility and changing our behavior may be the only way to save ourselves.

Gunnar Kuepper devotes the first 10 sections to facts and challenges. In the last section, and in each section, the author forecasts the troubles in the future. Each of the sections references words to connect one with another. The sections include world population, economy, disaster costs, global health, climate change and global warming, environmental issues, water crises, education and employment, migration, science and technology, and outlook. Each section builds from the previous section. The sections part priority into messages of the magnitude, importance and
