Chapters: Introduction I II III IV V VI VII ... XVII C hapter III. World Population Growth Population dynamics are one of the key factors to consider when thinking about development. In the past 50 years the world has experienced an unprecedented increase in population growth ( Figure 3.1 ). Do you know why? Grouping Countries by Their Level of Development A "natural population increase" occurs when the birth rate is higher than the death rate . While a country's population growth rate depends on the natural increase and on migration, world population growth is determined exclusively by the natural increase. Around the world, death rates gradually decreased in the late 19th and the 20th centuries, with death rates in the developing world plummeting after World War II thanks to the spread of modern medicine. In much of the developing world the decline in death rates preceded the decline in birth rates by 20 years or more, resulting in record- high rates of population growth of 3 percent or even 4 percent a year. Since the 1960s birth rates have also been declining rapidly in most developing countries except those in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East. This trend in birth rates in the developing world is comparable to what took place in Europe and the United States in the 19th century (

Programs > World Population Awareness Week (WPAW) WPAW is an intense educational campaign designed to create public awareness about the startling trends in world population growth, the detrimental effects they have on our planet and its inhabitants, and the urgent need for action in order to change this situation. We are striving to create a world community concerned with bringing the world's population into balance with its resources and environment. Curbing population growth rates not only rests on private individual decisions about family size, but also on the network of educational techniques, economic institutions, and policies influencing these individual decisions. HISTORY The Population Institute first conceived WPAW in 1985, as an intense educational campaign designed to create public awareness of the startling trends in world population growth, the detrimental effects they have on our planet and its inhabitants, and the urgent need for action in order to change this situation. In 1989, just four years after its inception, WPAW branched far beyond the borders of the U.S., to be observed internationally. Today, WPAW continues to motivate growing numbers of supporters, as we strive together to create a world community concerned with bringing the world’s population into balance with its resources and environment. Curbing population growth rates rests not only on private individual decisions about family size, but also on the network of educational techniques, economic institutions, and policies influencing these individual decisions.

It may take just 100 years for India to add another billion. How successful the Indian government is in boosting literacy rates and sexual education among females in the next several decades will be critical in determining just how quickly the population there increases, the author of a new report on world population says. Currently, India is home to one-sixth of the world's 6 billion people. By mid-century, India's population could reach 1.6 billion people, helping to swell the world population to 9 billion, according to the report by the Population Reference Bureau scheduled for release Thursday. By 2050, India could surpass China as the country with the world's largest population, said Carl Haub, one of the report's authors. The bureau is a Washington-based private, nonprofit research group.

Links WHY POPULATION MATTERS TO NATURAL RESOURCES Despite humanity's success in feeding a growing world population, the natural resources on which life depends-fresh water, cropland, fisheries and forests-are increasingly depleted or strained. One hopeful sign for the new millennium is that population growth is slowing at a much faster rate than was previously predicted. While slowing, however, significant growth continues, meaning that more people will be sharing such finite resources as fresh water and cropland.

Resources Fact Sheets Current Publications Publications Library ... Links Six Billion and Beyond...Why World Population Is Still Growing GROWTH WILL CONTINUE... The population explosion is not over. Some analysts claim population growth is no longer cause for concern, based on the trend towards smaller families and very low fertility rates in some countries. But while growth rates are slowing from their all-time high, human numbers are still increasing. World population is currently growing by about 1.3 percent a year, down from a peak of a little over 2 percent in the late 1960s. Thus, total population size is steadily increasing: even at the current lower rate of growth, about 78 million people will be added in 1999 many more than the 53 million people added in 1958 when the term "population explosion" was first used. World population will continue growing. United Nations (UN) projections indicate that the world's population could reach between 7.3 billion and 10.7 billion by the mid-21st century depending on varying assumptions about future birthrates. ...AND IS UNPRECEDENTED

National Security Study Memorandum 200: World Population Growth And U.S. Security delineates the development and major findings of this important study. Author Stephen D. Mumford reveals: In March, 1970, the U.S. Congress created The Commission on Population Growth and the American Future, which completed its work in March 1972. Its final report offered more than 70 recommendations. Collectively, they constituted a detailed blueprint for a superb national population policy. And uncovers why this commission's final report was ignored. In the words of a Commission member, Congressman James Scheuer (D.-NY): "The reasons were obvious the fear of attacks from the far right and from the Roman Catholic Church because of our positions on family planning and abortion. With the benefit of hindsight, it is now clear that this obstruction was the first of many similar actions to come from high places." Then he goes on to describe the commissioning of the NSSM 200 study, its major findings and the Vatican s responsibility in the failure to implement the study s recommendations.

World Population Growth as a Friends Concern by Stan Becker Facts In 1650, when George Fox was alive, the world's population was only one-half billion. In 2000 there are more than 6 billion humans on this planet. World population is now growing by 75 to 80 million persons per year. This is about 215,000 per day, or 9,000 per hour! Over 50 nations of the world will double in population size in less than 30 years. The United States' population is growing by about 2 million persons per year. In the United States there are 1.5 million more births than deaths each year. At present rates, the world's population could exceed eight billion in 2025. Rapid population growth contributes to environmental degradationexhaustion of resources, species extinction, ozone depletion, soil erosion, deforestation, global warming, mountains of waste, pollution, and many other ills. The developed nations, with 20 percent of the world's population, consume 80 percent of the world's resources.

40. World Population Growth -- Data Snooping world population growth Data Snooping. In the first chapter we looked at two different kinds of change discrete change, or http://www.math.montana.edu/frankw/ccp/modeling/discrete/snooping/body.htm

World Population Growth Data Snooping In the first chapter we looked at two different kinds of change discrete change, or discrete dynamical systems and continuous change, or continuous dynamical systems. Discrete dynamical systems are very useful for three reasons. In many situations change really is discrete it occurs at well-defined time intervals. Examples of this kind of change include farm prices and the population growth of temperate zone insects. Continuous change can often be approximated very well by discrete change. Discrete change is often easier to work with and is conceptually more simple. Thus, even when a continuous model is better, a discrete model may work almost as well and may be more widely understood. Data is usually discrete rather than continuous. So even when the underlying model is continuous we may be forced to work with a discrete model because of the limitations of the available data. For these reasons we begin our systematic study of models with discrete dynamical systems. The graph at the left shows data obtained from the United States Census Bureau estimating world population in the middle of each year for the years 1950-1995.
