Population Control. Overpopulation Is Defined As The “Condition

Did you ever consider everything that has to go exactly right for a baby to be born with out any birth defects, prematurity, or low birth weight? The answer is a lot, and according to the March of Dimes more then 460,000 babies are born prematurely every year in the United States alone (March of Dimes website). Recently, this statistic hit closer to home when a close friend of mine gave birth to her first child. At five months she was informed that her baby would be born prematurely with a hole in its diaphragm, a birth defect that could mean life or death. When the time came to deliver, the doctors performed a caesarean section. With the help of supporting organizations and

The primary reason for the vast increase in life expectancy in developed countries in the 20th century is universal clean drinking water and very high level of public and personal hygiene. These two improvements account for probably 80%of the life expectancy. Overall life

Moreover, the quality of life of citizens in these countries is possibly improved with developing health care services and clean water, leading to increasing the average life expectancy. It is possible to anticipate that the number of citizens living for at least sixty years will account for about 85 percent of the world’s population (Healey, 2008).This is due to the effects of globalization on medicine that have led to an increase of international medical exchange. As a result, solutions for disease treatment and surgery had been increasing remarkably that may save many people from death. Thus, life expectancy is lengthened. In other words, globalization may provide better living conditions and double the average life expectancy of 100 years ago (Healey, 2008).

Stated on nichd.nih.gov, “There are many different causes of infant mortality, from infection to birth defects or accidents. The main causes of infant mortality in the United States are different than the main causes of infant death around the world”. Most common causes of infant mortality rate in the U.S include birth defects, SIDS, and pregnancy complications. On the contrary causes of infant mortality rate worldwide include neonatal encephalopathy, blood infections, and diarrheal diseases. Maternal health is a risk factor for newborn health.In order to decrease infant mortality rates, developing countries have to start postnatal care programs or should have been initiated earlier as stated on

Today, our world endures many issues in regards to infants. Low-Birth Weight is a term we here on a regular base in related to infants. Nearly 24,000 infants died in the United States in 2011 (CDC, 2014).Although there are various reasons why there are so many infant deaths, low- birth weight contributed to the factor. Infant mortality rates over the years have slightly declined but this epidemiology has continues to be an issue throughout the years. As we look to overcome this issue, it’s clear that it will take the help of everyone in order to continue decreasing the risk factors associated with fetal mortality.

If the Chinese parents complied by the policy, they were given certificates which they used for discounts, applying for education loans for their children, longer days for maternity leave and housing loans. Without the policy, the parents would not have these privileges. The One-Child Policy had a good effect on families because the child had a better life. The advantages of only having one child is the attention, love and financial support of the parents. The child would have the chance of receiving the best education, better health care and job opportunities. This social experiment promises a better future for the children. Parents are able to save money for education and children to the best schools. The One-Child Policy had a good effect on the economy because the population is controlled now since the rule was established. China is populated with more than a billion people. With the One-Child Policy 400 million births were prevented. Without the policy, the population would continue to add up and it would cause over population. The One-Child Policy also had an effect on the economy for job opportunities. The children who grew up in the time period had the advantage of finding jobs much easily because there was positions

From the beginning of time, mankind has been faced with problem of the not being able to have many children. In the bible times many people think that people should be able to have many children. In China many people had a problem about how only being able to have only one child. Many believe from the beginning that the one-child policy would never work. The one-child policy has has been very effective throughout time. The practice of one-child policy in China has positive impact because it causes more job opportunities, results in less environmental problems, and leads to better health.

Throughout the past 50 years the average life expectancy of the world has increased steadily to where it sit now at 71 years.1 This increase can be attributed to many things ranging from the improvement in farming techniques to allow for greater yields of crops, to the lack of globally involved wars, improved industrial practices, and advancement of medical knowledge and technology which is what I will be focusing on in this paper.

In 1980, China implemented the one-child policy. This policy was initially meant to be temporary, and since it was instituted, it is estimated that 400 million births have been prevented. One of the goals of the Chinese one-child policy was to ensure that the population growth did not pass up economic development. It was also meant to ease natural resource challenges and environmental imbalances, which were caused by China’s quickly expanding population (Connett). Even though it seemed as if the policy was a great idea at the time, it caused many issues such as: the country’s sex ratio became extremely unbalanced, the number of female abortions dramatically increased, and after the first child, subsequent children were hidden from the authorities.

The dramatic increase in average life expectancy during the 20th century ranks as one of society’s greatest achievements. Increasing life expectancy is part of a major transition in human health spreading around the globe at different rates and along different

HOW DO LIFE EXPECTANCY, MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH CHANGE AROUND THE WORLD AND IN TIME ?

Every day, over three hundred million babies are born around the world. Abortion lowers the population number a minute amount, but according to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), only about 1 in every five parents abort, resulting in a population increase of four live births. Without control, the human population growth will not stop. Companies will try to meet the demand for more consumer goods, causing the development of more factories. Deforestation, or the clearing of forests, will occur to build the factories. The increase in factories will result in higher carbon dioxide levels emitted into the atmosphere. Humans are unquestionably the most advanced species. They are also, unfortunately, the most destructive. Humans are causing a surprising amount of damage to Earth because of one thing, overpopulation.

human overpopulation is when an area is overcrowded, there are just too many people living there, or the resources are not able to be used efficiently. If there are too many people in one place, resources will be fought for, or rationed. In both ways, nobody will get enough resources.

In 1800's the population growth is slow but when it reaches 1963 it grows rapidly. We side on don't panic because there will be no species extinction, if there will be no people abusing them. Low mortality rate is one of the cause of overpopulation and because of that it affect many aspect like economy, species extinction, limited resources( may tawag dito tina nakalimutan ko yung pag mas marami yung demand kesa supply). Technologically advancement in medicine is one of the visible sign of overpopulation, because of the improvement of the machines. Illness and diseases can be cured with the help of this new technology. Immigration of the rural people to the urban places may occur to lack of resources.

In the bible when god created man he had stated “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth”, (Genesis 1:28). It would seem that mankind has responded to our fathers request quite well. But is seven billion that big of a number? “If everyone in the world stood shoulder to shoulder, we could all fit within the city limits of Los Angeles”, (cbsnews.com, n.d.), so then what is the big deal about the growing population? Well, humans must eat, use energy, consume water and also humans will need more space to live as the population grows. This means that there will need to be a lot more food to be grown and produced, a lot more raw materials used to make energy and a lot more land to build infrastructure for humans to live and more water. Which is all fine and dandy until one is reminded that land, and raw materials are limited and the rate of food production is linear and land availability is also a factor for production. If that is not bad enough, according to prb.org (2011), “There are now seven billion people on earth, and projections show that we will top eight billion in just twelve years from now.” It is quite obvious that policies need to be implemented which limit or control the population growth rate or we might use up the finite resources which we have on earth.
