The Correlation between Population Grown and Economic Growth

Population Growth is an issue that exists in today’s world that needs to be confronted before it becomes out of hand. The population itself has reached overwhelming numbers making it a problem that could turn to be dangerous. The amount of humans that the earth can support or the carrying capacity is slowly rising but at a much slower rate than the population growth rate. The increasing growth rate has its negative effects environmentally, agriculturally, socially, and economically and also has its positive effects nationally, and economically. The government is brainstorming and trying to come up with ways to decrease

Chapter one “Population” explains how population changed through the years and what caused the population explosion. One of the reasons was a reduction of death rate after World War II due to being able to stop some diseases. Also, people in less developed countries believe in having more children, often due to religion or tradition. More children provide more wealth. The chapter is explaining how population growth affects development. When the growth is to rapid it causes that most of the population in a country is nonproductive, therefore more resources are needed to maintain a country. On the other hand, if the growth is too low, also more funds are needed to support older part of population. There is no good answer to how fast population

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.

Compare predictions for human population growth in developed countries versus developing countries. Why is it difficult to predict the growth of Earth’s human population? Why should population growth be predicted?”? What will happen if there is exponential human growth?

An increase in human population can influence our economy. Some of the factors that are affected are unemployment, poverty and the restriction of economic expansion. When the population increases, the cost of health, education,

Simon believes that the population growth does not have effect on the economic growth. Positive effects on people have productivity by creating and applying new knowledge. Simon then uses statistical data on how developed countries have larger population and have produced more great number of scientist and scientific knowledge produced. The relationship between population growth and economic growth is that the country’s economy can grow because of the growing population. Faster population growth causes faster growing industries to lead to faster growth of productivity. Also, a bigger market is implied from a larger population and it brings bigger manufacturers, which may produce less expensive goods and be more efficient than smaller ones. Simon believes that additional people have a positive effect on per capita income and outcome is a myth. The only measure of scarcity is from economic cost of goods. People regenerate Knowledge of our capacity of limited raw material and Simon argues that the more people there are, the better it is for our

So we see that on the other hard there are some situations where population growth can hamper economic development. This seems to focus more on the poorer countries of the world, which is probably due to more of a lack of resources. Also noted by Cincotta & Robert (1997), results of an elaborate study found that the correlation between stagnant economic growth and economic strength is the most prevalent among developing nations of the world. In other words, stagnate economic growth can be attributed to population growth as well, which as previously noted is an antithesis to this paper, but to point out, this heavily relates countries with a below average gross domestic

Population growth is one of the most important thing for the countries planners, economist and obviously for the government to plan for next 50 to 100 years.

(n.d.). So many things go into human population growth such as deaths, births, and migration; for, all three play a factor when calculating the growth. The more people that live in the area, can affect more on the environment then anything. “For the last 50 years, world population multiplied more rapidly than ever before, and more rapidly than it is projected to grow in the future.” Jordan, J. (n.d.). Human population growth affects things that go un noticed such as in the workforce, environment, and our

The article, “Limits to Growth was Right” by the Guardian evaluates the predictions put forth in the book, Limits to Growth, according to recent studies from the University of Melbourne. Published in 1972, Limits to Growth presents the results of a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in which researchers created a complex mathematical program to estimate the future of population,

In the year 1 A.D., the Earth’s population was 300 million. In 1850, after many decades of consistent population growth, it eventually surpassed one billion. From that point on in history, the world population began to climb rapidly (Haub). Each year, the world population surpasses what any scientist has ever thought possible. Some would consider this expansion as a sign of success considering the causes of a rapidly growing population include improved health care, new technology, progressive eras such as the Industrial Revolution, and an overall developing human race (Kinder). However, the current world population no longer signifies progression; it signifies regression. Today, the Earth’s human population is approaching overpopulation. Overpopulation is more than just a crowded planet. The definition of overpopulation is, “…too many people for the amount of food, materials, and space available…” (Cambridge Dictionaries). This means that overpopulation will impact crucial aspects of the planet and not just increase city sizes. Robert Kolb suggested in the Encyclopedia of Business Ethics and Society that the Industrial Revolution is one of the main causes of the spark of rapid population growth. When industry developed, family sizes expanded, economic health boomed, and populations spiked all over the world. Since the Industrial Revolution, the Earth’s number of inhabitants has been consistently growing, which could lead to overpopulation. Overpopulation will affect every

The demographics of a country have a great influence upon economic development. Demographics refers to the structure of population and it is important since population size, structure, and trends directly affect the consumption and production of a country. Countries which are considered “developing” are those that are working to meet Todaro’s three objectives of development. The three objectives are to raise living levels, create conditions conducive to self-esteem growth, and increase the range of choice variables. Progress in each of the objevtives of growth are measured via means of measuring poverty, inequality, progress, sustenance, self-esteem, freedom, sustainability, and economic growth.

Industrial development and population growth have created a surge in global demand for energy. The tension in the Middle East and the sharp rise in oil prices since the 1990’s had Western countries like the US scrambling to secure alternative energy sources. While solar and wind energy is flourishing, energy industries have pursued more aggressive means of tapping the earth’s resources. Continued mining, drilling, and especially hydraulic fracturing have been a “game changer” for the US. Although industrialized energy development is making great strides in harnessing the earth’s energy resources, it is also threatening the natural environment and the quality of life in many communities.

Have you ever thought what will happen with us in our nearest future? Is there will be better life than today? When I first saw headlines such as “Better life is coming” or “Future without problems, it’s true”, I was tempted to answer, “Yes”. However, these facts aren’t so widely reported in the newspaper and television. But the nearest future, in fact, is not as fluffy as it seems to be. Moreover, there will more global problems than we have. The population of the world keeps growing. Every 15 seconds, approximately 100 babies are born. Experts predict that by the end of the next century, the population could reach 10 billion people. One of the major problems of population growth is
