about the population. The Definition and Causes of Rapid Population.
Growth and Population explosion refers to the rapid and dramatic
rise in world population that has occurred over the last few hundred
years. Between 1959 and 2000, the world’s population increased from
2.5 billion to 6.1 billion people. According to United Nations
projections, the world population will be between 7.9 billion and
10.9 billion by 2050.Most of the growth is currently taking place in
the developing world, where rates of natural increase are much
higher than in industrialized countries. Concern that this might
lead to over population has led some countries to adopt population
control policies. However, since people in developing countries
consume far less, especially of non-renewable resources, per head of
population than people in industrialized countries, it has been
argued that the West should set an example in population control
instead of giving, for example, universal child benefit. The
Definition of Over Population: In the past, infant and childhood
deaths and short life spans used to limit population growth In
today’s world, thanks to improved nutrition, sanitation, and medical
care, more babies survive their first few years of life.The
combination of a continuing high birth rate and a low death rate is
creating a rapid population increase in many countries in Asia,
Latin America and Africa and people generally lived longer. Over
population is defined as the condition of having more people than
can live on the earth in comfort, happiness and health and still
leave the world a fit place for future generations. But some people
now believe that the greatest threat to the future comes from over
population. It took the entire history of humankind for the
population to reach 1 billion around 1810 Just 120 years later, this
doubled to 2 billion people (1930); then 4 billion in 1975 (45
years).
The number of people in the world has risen from 4.4 billion people
in 1980 to 6.3 billion in 2005. And it is estimated that the
population could double again to nearly 11 billion in less than 40
years. This means that more people are now being added each day than
at any other time in human history.
According to a report by the United Nation Population fund, total
population is likely to reach 10 billion by 2025 and grow to 14
billion by the end of the next century unless birth control use
increases dramatically around the world within the next two decades.
Both death rates and birth rates have fallen, but death rates have
fallen faster than birth rates. There are about 3 births for each
death with 1.6 births for each death in more developed countries (MDCs)
and 3.3 births for each death m less developed countries (LDCs). The
world’s population continues to grow by 1 billion people every dozen
years. The Causes of Rapid Population Growth: Until recently, birth
rates and death rates were about the same, keeping the population
stable. People had many children, but a large number of them died
before age of five.
During the Industrial Revolution, a period of history in Eu¬rope and
North America where there were great advances in science and
technology, the success in reducing death rates was attributable to
several factors:
(i) increases in food production and distribution,
(ii) Improvement in public health (water and sanitation),
(iii) Medical technology (vaccines and antibiotics), along with
gains in education and standards of living within many developing
nations.
Without these attributes present in many children’s lives, they
could not have survived common diseases like measles or the flu.
People were able to fight and cure deadly germs that once killed
them. In addition, because of the technology, people could produce
more and different kinds of food. Gradually, over a period of time,
these discoveries and inventions spread throughout the world,
lowering death rates and improving the quality of life for most
people.
