Population explosion

Infant mortality has long been considered to be an important indicator of a nation’s health, and while it has fallen dramatically over the past five decades, there are still striking differences along socioeconomic, geographic, and racial lines. “In 2009, the infant mortality rate was 12.4 infant deaths per 1,000 live births among blacks, compared to 5.3 among whites.” Equally large and persistent differences by race are found for other birth outcomes – including stillbirths, preterm births, and

Education and Skills Development: A Flagship programme for Rural Poverty Alleviation More than of half of the world’s population and nearly 70 per cent of the world’s poor made rural areas their home where hunger, illiteracy and low school achievement are ubiquitous. India lives in its villages where 68.84% of the country’s population eke out their living through agriculture and allied activities. For the economic development of our country, the development of rural areas and the standard of living

elderly population, who only have one child to support them. Most significantly, the policy caused a national “gendercide” and an influx of Chinese bachelors, indirectly causing an increase in sex trafficking in and around the country. Did the one-child policy achieve its intended effect, or did it cause many more inadvertent effects that it could not control? The one-child policy was implemented in 1979 by the Chinese government (The Economist 3). Its original goal was to restrain the population growth

1. What is Western Civilization? Western civilization or the western culture that is broadly used in describing the heritage that is found in a normal society i.e. the ethical values, social norms, beliefs, political, specific artefacts, the technologies used and the political systems found in that society, that have some resemblance with that from European countries. This effect was felt because it was carried either through colonization or modern day immigration, hence the culture is transferred

lack adequate access to credit. Despite the India’s meteoric GDP growth rate (about 9%), poverty in India is still pervasive; especially in rural areas where 70% of India’s 1.2 billion population live. It is one of the fastest growing economies in the world and yet its wealth is hardly redistributed across the population. Nearly 70 per cent of Indian villagers do not have a bank account, and tapping them would require multiple banking channels. There are about 73,000 such villages that have no formal

falling birth rates and advances in medicine have made adults 65 years and older, one of the fastest growing populations in the United States. According to a report by the National LGBTQ Task Force, “nearly 37.9 million Americans are 65 or older, representing 12.6% of the population, or one in eight Americans” (Grant, Koskovich, Frazer, & Bjerk, 2010, p. 19). Notably, the aging population is faced with struggles that include limited mobility, physical, and mental health problems, as well as a rising

However, longer life expectancy has resulted in the ageing of population and has caused worldwide concerns of the problems it may consequently arouse. The two major reasons of the ageing population trend are the rising longevity and the decline of fertility rate. If the proportion of elderly people continues

in Africa having psychological trauma such as PTSD has become the norm. To make matters worst, almost half of Kenyans are below poverty with a life expectancy of about 54 and an enormous birthrate. With the birthrate being so high, most of the populations of Kenyans are children. On the other hand, because of the lack of money, Kenya has become the 9th highest place where disease is present in the world. Researchers conducted a study in order to test the prevalence of PTSD in Kenyans, specifically

in modern context, have been politically and socially exploited. This may not have been as extreme as colonization, slavery, or exclusion, but a more discreet and covertly nativist ideology exists up to today: the fear of the rising immigrant population demoting White-Americans to a minority3.The view that immigrants were detrimental to society was expressed in the publication of many historical political cartoons. Thomas Nast and G.F. Keller both express their views that condemn and support this
