The population of the world has been increasing faster and faster. In 10,000 B.C., there
II. While
you
were probably only 10 million
people. In
A.D. read:
1, there were 300 million. It took 1,750
years for the world population to reach 625 million. In 1850, only one hundred years later,
the population reached the figure of 1,300 million. In 1950, the figure had more than
doubled to reach 2,510 million. In 1985, only 35 years later, there were 4,760 million
people. In 2000, the world’s population was about 6.6 billion, and by 2015 it is expected to
be over 7 billion.
Does the Earth have enough resources to support this many people? Different scientists
give different answers to this question. Some say that there are enough resources to support
8 billion people. Others say that we must limit population growth because our resources are
limited. Only 10 percent of the earth’s land can be used for farming and another 20 percent
for raising animals. There is a limit to the water we can use. There are also limits to the
amounts of petroleum, iron, silver, gold, and other metals.
Research has shown that the average Third World woman has more children than she
wants. Among the women who do not think they have too many children, half of them do
not want any more. However, although millions of women want to limit the size of their
families, they know of no safe way to have fewer children. Safe birth control methods for
family planning are not available to them. It is time governments and international
organisations did something to help them so that the world population growth can start to
decrease instead of continuing to increase.
