Egypt Economic and Social Issues

By introducing China’s One-Child Policy (Family Planning Policy) in 1979, China hopes to decrease its country’s annual population growth. China has implemented the policy by many different

China is the world's most populous nation and its population has, on average, increased by over 25 people every minute, every day for the past 40 years. (Richards 5) For a developing country such as China, with 22 percent of the world's population and only 7 percent of the world's arable land, rapid and persistent population growth can contribute significantly to the nation's poverty levels and restrain its potential for economic growth. (Gu 42) China's one-child family policy was first announced in 1979. In a 1979 speech, Deng Xiaoping drew the first outlines of a policy to limit population growth, "Use whatever means you must to control China's population. Just do it." (Mosher 50)

Thesis: The topic of human population growth is an important issue due to its impacts upon people in developing countries, economics, religion, food production, and the environment; without any limitations, population growth can lead to negative consequences, such as famine and environmental destruction, or even positive outcomes, such as potential economic growth.

To prevent the right of freedom from being taken away, we must result to better habits that will save lives and the state of humanity. Everyone should take in account of the adverse effects and the things we may lose if the baby-having trend continues. It’s more than right of freedom being taken away, but the things we use to function as a society. It should be an initiative taken by the government to educate those who are not aware the effects of people excessively having children. In good essence government control may be the end result to alleviate the issues that may arrive if the continuing of planned or unplanned births remains

This essay will concentrate on the effects of Egypt's economy and society during and after British colonization. Observing the opinion on both positive and negative effects which brought the Egypt nation into development. The reason of this essay is to determine how British colonial ruled and gained control on Egypt nation for nearly 40 years and affected it in many ways. This essay is a mainly concerned with its economy system during the British colonization in 1882 until Egypt achieved the full independence in 1936.

Egyptian survivals and flourishing economy were dependent on agriculture. Agriculture provided rich and bountiful resources. Abundance relied on their river. The positives are the earl farmers grew crops, raised farm animals, and hunted birds and fish to supplement their diet. The negatives were when the eaters were too high or too low, severe food shortages occurred.

Generally speaking, overpopulation in developing countries causes multiple issues in maintaining a good quality of life in society. The largest problem with overpopulation in developing countries is that people have to do things that they normally would not do in order to make a living. For example, in Sold, Mumtaz forces Lakshmi into prostitution. Mumtaz tells Lakshmi of her new life when she says, “You will take men to your room and do whatever they ask of you. You will work here like the other girls, until your debt is paid off.” (70). Mumtaz forcing Lakshmi against her will displays the lengths

Egypt, a transcontinental country that spans the north east corner of Africa and the southwest corner of Asia, houses the historic flooding Nile and the ancient man made Great Pyramids. The Nile is the only significant source of water in the dessert region and without it early civilizations would not have been able to develop and thrive like the Egyptian society has done throughout time. The Egyptian society origins can be traced back to the 10th millennium BC, with a culture of hunter and gatherers evolving into a grain-grinding society. With a change in climate and overgrazing, the Sahara desert began to form, thus early societies migrated to the banks of the Nile around 8000 BC. This migration contributed to the development of economic, political, and religious structure among the earliest of Egyptian societies.

Some key points of this paper are going to be about the development of civilization, geography, social structure, Hierarchy, and where the Ancient Egyptian civilization began.

This time, we went a little more back in time when Amenhotep IV was Pharaoh.

Major progress has been made in curbing population growth. The United Nations Population facts August 2010 states that there has been substantial declines in fertility, total fertility in the rest of the developing world(excluding the least developed countries) declined by about 50 per cent between 1970-1975 and 2005-2010: from 5.0 to 2.5 children per woman. Additionally fertility in the least developed countries dropped by 34 per cent since 1970-1975, from 6.7 to 4.4 children per woman. Bangladesh is exceptional with a reduction of over 60 per cent, from 6.9 children per woman in 1970-1975 to an estimated 2.4 in 2005-2010.

Egypt spans across the northeast corner of Africa and the southwest corner of Asia. The country is bordered by the Mediterranean sea and the Red Sea as well as Libya to the west, Sudan to the south, and Israel and the Gaza strip to the east. The majority of Egypt's 390,000 square miles of land lies within the Nile Valley of North Africa. Egypt has over 87 million inhabitants, making it the fifteenth most populous country in the world. Across the country, days are typically warm to hot and nights are cool. Egypt experiences a mild winter from November to April and a hot summer from May to October. The country receives very minimal rainfall throughout the year due to it’s desert climate.

The leaders finally realized that the rapid population growth has exerted huge pressure on the government and the society. By 1971, leaders gradually realized the importance of controlling the fertility rates and initiated the program to

Family size is also a huge contributor to the population catastrophe. Generally, a family in this region is consisted of around five to six children (Bridge). The reason for women to bare so many children is because of the high risk of infant mortality. Since children’s health has improved in the 1980’s, women continued to have the same number of kids. However, more lived, which then pushed fertility rates even higher (World Religions, Environment, Development 233). In order for Sub Saharan to stabilize their flourishing

Holding on to these fundamental concerns an examination of world hunger and population growth illustrates the problematic nature of this program. The connection between hunger and overpopulation is the notion that the world cannot produce enough food to feed the number of human beings alive. However, the "world produces enough grain alone to provide every man, woman, and child on Earth with 3,000 calories a day" (Hartmann 1995: 16), illustrating this "fact" as profoundly false. Hartmann further states, "at least on a global scale their is not shortage of food"(Hartmann 1995: 16), which insinuates that the concern is not production, but rather distribution. The unequal distribution and consumption of resources by the West (Hartmann 1995:
