Increases in Africa Asia to spark world population growth By GENARO C. ARMAS Africa 's population could soar by more than 1 billion over the next half- century, further straining food and water supplies and social services in areas already struggling, according to a report Tuesday. Political unrest and war have limited the ability of many developing nations to promote family planning and literacy programs, said Carl Haub , author of the study released Tuesday from the Population Reference Bureau, a private research group. In many of these countries, big families are the cultural norm. African governments, especially those of sub-Saharan nations, will need to create millions of jobs and improve health care facilities and schools, the report said. " Africa is going to have a hard time taking on another 1 billion people," Haub said. "How do you raise living standards, how do you educate, improve health care, and how do you battle AIDS at the same time?" The latest edition of the "World Population Data Sheet" estimates the global population will rise 46 percent between now and 2050 to about 9 billion, a level also predicted by the United Nations and other groups. European nations, more industrialized and prosperous, are expected to lose population because of falling birth rates and low immigration.

Craighead Environmental Research Institute The mission of the Institute is to increase humankind's understanding, appreciation, and protection of our natural environment; particularly wildlife populations and wild landscapes. Our goal is to enable human beings to live in harmony with other species. The Problem: World Population Growth The Solution One obvious solution is to reduce the number of human beings to levels at which all can enjoy a high quality of life without endangering other species. This is clearly not going to happen overnight (at least not in any humane fashion). Another possible solution is to develop sustainable economies and to maintain large areas of natural habitat in order to provide ecosystem functions and provide space for other species. This is the approach we are working toward at CERI. (World Population Odometer applet courtesy of Michael Gilpin) For problems or questions regarding this website contact ursus@grizzlybear.org

Home Overpopulation: An Introduction to the Issues Population Growth: 1960-2000 Overpopulation.Com Guests Logon Account Signup Links Population Growth: 1960-2000 Those predicting an overpopulation disaster were right about one thing – the world’s population increased substantially over the last 40 years. In 1970, world population was about 3.7 billion. By the year 2000, world population will top 6 billion – an increase of 62 percent. Although the total world population continues to increase, the rate that the world’s population is growing began declining in the 1970s. The table below shows how fast world population grew for each decade beginning in the 1960s: Year Percentage increase in world population The rate of world population growth peaked in the 1970s and has been falling ever since. In fact the decline accelerated dramatically in the 1990s. Why is the population falling now? Largely because women are choosing to have fewer children. Trends in child birth rates are usually tracked by following the total fertility rate Why did the total fertility rates fall? At the moment there is no consensus on this question. Among the various proposed reasons are: increased economic opportunity; increased educational opportunity; women’s expanding access to family planning resources; cultural changes within societies. Studying human societies and finding one or two causes is probably doomed to fail – ultimately fertility declined because women and men chose to have fewer children and simplifying those individual decisions to form a simple theory is unlikely to prove fruitful.

World population growth rate continues to plunge Executive Intelligence Review, Sept. 11, 1998, pp. 34-35 The rate of world population growth fell again in the past year, according to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, and the decline of growth rate again accelerated, for the 20th consecutive year. The Census Bureau figures, covering 157 countries or island groups and many other islands, principalities, and territories, show that 30 of the 157 countries have falling populations. A year ago, there were 17 such nations. Of the 30 with declining populations, 16 are in western, central, or eastern Europe; 7 are in Africa; and 4 in the Middle East. An additional 16 countries are at zero growth, including 5 in Europe. The overall figures give a mid-1998 world population of approximately 5.925 billion human beings, or about 75 million more than in mid-1997, the lowest increase in more than a decade. As recently as the 1994 Cairo World Population conference, the Worldwatch Institute claimed an increase of 93 million per year, but the actual increase was 82-83 million per year. The United Nations said in May, that the human race is supposed to reach 6 billion individuals by July 1, 1999. The world growth rate was still 2% per year in the 1980s; 1.7% at the 1992 Rio "Eco 92" summit. It fell to 1.4% by 1997, and now, a yea later, has fallen to 1.3%. By 2000, the "extreme goals" of the Malthusian National Security Study Memorandum 200 and Global 2000 Reporta 1.1% world rate at the end of the centurywill be reached or exceeded.

Tallying Tomorrow's Consumers: World Population Growth Sets a Slower Pace For U.S. agriculture, global population growth is both a source of confidence in long-term trade prospects, and a source of concern about future world food security. How fast is population growing? According to the U.S. Census Bureau's latest estimates, the global head count (now near 5.9 billion) is increasing at a rate of 8,900 people an hour, nearly 214,000 a day and 78 million this year. World population reached the 3-billion mark in 1959, 4 billion in 1974 and 5 billion in 1987. It is currently projected to top 6 billion in 1999, 7 billion in 2012, 8 billion in 2026 and 9 billion around 2043. Although their underlying assumptions could change, Census Bureau demographers see world population totaling roughly 9.3 billion by the middle of the next century, given present trends. Population growth continues, but at a slowing rate. Current trends suggest a net increase of about 3.2 billion people between 2000 and 2050a lot of new mouths to feed, but less than the 3.5-billion increase from 1950 to 2000. Expressed in percentages, the difference is dramatic: a projected gain of slightly over 50 percent in the first half of the next century, compared with 138 percent over the last half-century. Annual population growth, which averaged 2 percent in the 1960s, is now near 1.3 percent and could drop below 1 percent after 2015. If the slowing continues, global population may approach the replacement rate, or zero net growth, by the end of the 21st century. Had the high growth rates of the 1960s persisted, population already would top 6 billion and would be climbing toward more than 18 billion by 2050.

The End of World Population Growth Will world population grow to double its present size by 2050? Will growth slow down and stop soon? With the personal computer we can narrow the likely trajectory of future world population growth far more than ever before possible. Before the PC, the necessary calculations were too tedious. So demographers prepared widely different projections. United Nations long range projections . . . United Nations long range projections include a "high variant" that has world population growing to 28 billion by the year 2150, a "medium variant" that has growth levelling off at 11.5 billion around 2075, and a "low variant" that has world population growth ending at 7 billion around 2050 followed by population decrease. If it were a weather forecast . . . A weather forecast like that would have us preparing for a blizzard, rain, and a hot dry spell all at the same time. Which is most likely? The medium variant is usually considered the most likely because it is in the middle. But there is another method for finding the most likely path of future world population growth.

On world population growth by Wm. Robert Johnston 16 October 1999 Dear Editor: Last week the Herald carried several articles on the hype about the world's population reaching six billion. On Friday an editorial admitted that the milestone probably didn't happen last Tuesday. But that editorial perpetuates the unscientific myth that our current or future population is something to worry about. The population fear-mongers have been wrong for decades in predicting disaster. The truth is the Earth can support all of us. In technological countries like the U.S., pollution has been decreasing for decades, and there is no hard scientific evidence that species extinctions are increasing. Current agricultural technology could feed ten times the current population using less farm land than we are using now. Even the United Nations' best guess is that population will stop growing at less than double the current amount. Starvation and poverty occur because governments restrict economic freedom, preventing society from utilizing plentiful resources. Taiwan is five times as crowded as Communist China, but has a standard of living ten times higherbecause of economic freedom. But the Communist Chinese government (which created its own problem) is being praised for its "one-child" policy. This policy forces 30,000 pregnant Chinese women each and every day to have abortions against their willsome in the ninth month of pregnancy. Friday's editorial criticized Congress for cutting UN population control fundsbut the truth is these funds would support China's policies. Even worse, the few Chinese women that have escaped to the U.S. to avoid abortions have been sent right back by the Clinton administration, right back to lose their babies. Mainland China is a brutal dictatorship, is a threat to our national securityand is aided and abetted by our current president and vice president.

Barbara Crosette, "Experts Scale Back Estimates of World Population Growth," New York Times , 20 August 2002 Demography has never been an exact science. Ever since social thinkers began trying to predict the pace of population growth a century or two ago, the people being counted have been surprising the experts and confounding projections. Today, it is happening again as stunned demographers watch birthrates plunge in ways they never expected. A few decades ago in certain countries like Brazil, Egypt, India and Mexico fertility rates were as high as five or six. As a result, United Nations demographers who once predicted the earth's population would peak at 12 billion over the next century or two are scaling back their estimates. Instead, they cautiously predict, the world's population will peak at 10 billion before 2200, when it may begin declining. Some experts are wary of too much optimism, however. At the Population Council, an independent research organization in New York, Dr. John Bongaarts has studied population declines in various countries over the last half century. He questions the assumption that when fertility declines begin they will continue to go down at the same pace, especially if good family planning services are not widely available. Sharp fertility declines in many industrialized and middle-income countries had already challenged another old belief: that culture and religion would thwart efforts to cut fertility. In Italy, a Roman Catholic country whose big families were the stuff of cinema, family size is shrinking faster than anywhere else in Europe, and the population is aging rapidly as fewer children are born. Islamic Iran has also had great success with family planning.

About Zero Population Growth's new name Population Connection After a year of careful review and consideration, the Board of Directors of Zero Population Growth on February 2, 2002 voted unanimously to change the name of our organization to Population Connection, effective May 1, 2002. As board members, we volunteer our time, energy, and support because we share with ZPG’s 70,000 members a deep and abiding concern about the critical need for population stabilization. We want people everywhere to join our cause so that, together, we can make the world better, safer, and less-crowded. We are changing our name, but our mission remains exactly the same. There is a clear connection between population growth and virtually every challenge facing our planet. As the leading grassroots population organization, ZPG has been the “population connection” for 34 years. By changing our name to Population Connection, we hope to rally even more support for the kind of education and action that can - and must - change the world.

U.S. Current Population World www.census.gov Why Population Matters The current world population is over 6 billion and increases at a rate of 76,570,430 people every year. Since 1950, U.S. population has nearly doubled - growing from 151 million to over 293 million today. If present trends continue, our population will exceed 400 million by the year 2050. More people means more pollution, more sprawl, less green space, and even more demands on the earth's already overburdened resources. NPG is the leader in the movement for a sound population policy and advocates a smaller and truly sustainable population through voluntary incentives for smaller families and reduced immigration levels.

World leaders have agreed on a variety of new initiatives, including the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This year's State of World Population report is a contribution to the discussion and a guide to action. The number of people (3 billion) living on $2 a day or less is the same as additions to world population since 1960. Of course, the relationship is not direct, but population cannot be ignored in the discussion about poverty and how to end it. Fertility and population growth are highest in the poorest countries. The least-developed countries will most likely triple their populations by 2050, from 600 million in 1995 to 1.8 billion

Search Geography Doubling Time and Population Growth The rate of national growth is expressed as a percentage for each country, commonly between about 0.1% and 3% annually. You'll find two percentages associated with population - natural growth and overall growth. Natural growth represents the births and deaths in a country's population and does not take into account migration. The overall growth rate takes migration into account. For example, Canada's natural growth rate is 0.4% while its overall growth rate is 1.0%, due to Canada's open immigration policies. In the U.S., the natural growth rate is 0.6% and overall growth is 0.9%. The growth rate of a country provides demographers and geographers with a good contemporary variable for current growth and for comparison between countries or regions. For most purposes, the overall growth rate is the more frequently utilized. The growth rate can be used to determine a country or region or even the planet's "doubling time," which tells us how long it will take for a country's current population to double. This length of time is determined by dividing the growth rate into 70. The number 70 comes from the natural log of 2, which is .70.
