World population

From the 3.68 billion people that will be added to the world population between 1995 and 2050, Asia will contribute some 2 billion. This enormous increase is due to the already massive size of the population. Most of this growth will occur in the next three decades. Between 1995 and 2025 Asia 's population will grow by 1.35 billion - between 2025 and 2050 the increase is projected to be just 658 million. China is the world 's largest population, estimated to be around 1.24 billion in 1998. It grows

history, the development of the world population directly depends on the mode of social production, especially the level of development of productive forces. In the history, mankind got the tremendous progress in productivity often with the population rapid develop. In the primitive society, the primitive society 's population birth rate and the mortality rate all maintained at about 50% because of the objective law and the social production mode. The number of the population maintain in a state of high

Many people believe that today the world 's population is already too large for everyone to live comfortably. Let us brainstorm for a while. According to the UN, we are living in the era of the most intense growth of urbanization. Right now, when the level of urbanization is quite high, the remains of the rural population of the planet dramatically swept into the city. Everyone knows that the urban life style helps to reduce the birth rate to a subthreshold level. This means that neither sharp jump

perspective: Countries with high average population density tend to be the same as those with large amounts of arable land (e.g. Canada has the 11th lowest population density and very little arable land at 4,73%) because large amounts of land are uninhabited. Generally, areas that are developing have higher population densities, however, less developed areas generally have more population growth. All solutions to the problem of a growing world population can be categorized into to categories -

can it be an issue in the long run? Over population has created issues over the years from poverty effecting one’s lifestyle to heath issue and effecting our loving environment. Population growth is an important global issue that needs to be reduced not just by us, the people, but from those who have higher authority. If population continues to grow, what will happen to our Earth in the future? One of the many issues that occur with the growth of population is in fact poverty. As more and more people

Global population ageing means that by 2050 over 60s will comprise 22% of the world population at 2 billion (Banister et al, 2012). A report prepared by the Population Division for the World Assembly on Ageing in 2002 shows that population ageing is 'unpredecedented,' 'pervasive' and 'enduring', having a wide range of consequences for many countries and governments (UN). This wide spread phenomenon, therefore has many implications and this essay studies these in terms of economic, social, environmental

Population…A Problem That Most of the World Simply Disregards There are over Six Billion people inhabiting the planet earth today and that number is growing. “In the six seconds it takes you to read this sentence, eighteen more people will be added” (Ehrlich 9). The total population of the World, projected on October 23, 2001 at 6:28:09 pm GMT was 6,181,600,089 people (U.S. Bureau of the Census). Each hour there are 11,000 more mouths to feed; each year more than 95 million. Nevertheless

An Expanding World Population & a Degrading Earth The world is currently home to around 7 billion people, but only a century ago there were only about 1.6 billion people living on it. It is estimated that the world population will soar to approximately 9 or 10 billion within the next forty years (Lambert 6). Along with the increasing global population, climate change and water scarcity are also burdening the survival of our planet (Lambert 5). The FAO has warned that agriculture must produce 70%

Countries in the world hold different attitudes to the population policy, some of them tend to delay the increase of population while others introduce policies to encourage childbirth. After centuries of continual growth, which started at the first industrial revolution, the global population reached over 7 billion individuals in 2013. Research by Ezeh, Bongaarts and Mberu (2012) states that increasing population is a threat to individuals and societies by bring problems based on unsatisfied demand
