How The Population of The World Grows

The world is a very big place with a population of 6,234,250,234 people and always growing. The world and its important resources are being destroyed by populations growing in such small areas.

Many of these small areas have many problems of their own because of over population, such as hunger and many poor people.

China is the largest country in the world with a population of 1, 284,304,705 people and ranked the third largest in size in the world. In the year 2050 the population of China will be about 1,322,435,000. The population in china is growing by about 87% a year. China is controlling the population by the one-child policy. The one child policy was created in 1979 to help control the growing population of China. How the one child policy works is that families are only allowed one child but if that child can’t work the family can adopt another. Also many of the families are killing their new born if they are girls because in China when girls are born nothing is done but when a boy is born there is a huge celebration.

The population of the U.S. is 280,562,489 people and by the year 2050 the population will almost had doubled, 394,241,000 people. Each year the population increases by 89%. In the U.S. there is nothing being done to control the fast growing. Although there are many people in some states there are still many that have very few due to the climate which is usually too hot or too cold.

India is 1,045,845,226 people and as the population grows at 1.15% in the year 2050 there will be about 1,706,951,724. In the 1970’s India started to educate people about birth control. They put up posters and also want men and women to be sterilized. By teaching people India about birth control the later generations will be more aware of overpopulation.

The total population of Europe is about 728,543,592 and if the population continues to grow at about 1% in 2050 the population will be about 642,447,530. Although Europe consist of many countries not many are doing anything to help control overpopulation.

Africa has a total population of 803,310,514 and in 2050 the population will be about 1,786,117,607. The population growth rate is about 2.6%. Even thought the population is still growing there is also illness and lack of food is sort of the population control.

There are many ways that over population destroy the earth one way is by pollution.

Pollution has been killing the environment since power has been producing power to work every day things for the growing populations. Also have also been major accidents form power plants that cause many people to move to different and make them even more populated.

Also over population destroys forest and other natural resource.

In South America there are many rain forest, these rain forest may or may not contain cures for some illnesses that we have no cures for not. But farmers in South America are cutting down the trees for the top layer of soil. There are may was to control the population of the world, one way is to have a certain amount of people in a household or family, kind of like China’s One child policy but now people will be able to have 4 to 5 child girls or boys.

In Conclusion, at the population of the world grows, over population will continue slowly destroy the earth.
